Navy Blues

"Donald Duck" LOL!
Why tie that thing around the neck like that as if it's still the
1930's? Talk about dated - antiquated, antediluvian. Certain styles
get out of fasion after 10 years while others stay in style forever.
The USMC black and Red are an example of good taste that won't go out
of style.
Army Greens won't go out of style either.
When will the Navy re-do it's uniforms?
Ever watched that black and white movie "This is the Army".
:::::Boy wearing his navy blues walksinto room with Pap.g his navy
blues. "Hi Pap" He salutes. Pap responds in disapointment by saying
"the navy" he cringes. The father is an Army man. ::::::
LMAO! That was priceless. Maybe you should go rent it, those black
and white movies are classic.

I won't take a thing away from the Marines on a personal or professional
level. Yes, I agree their uniform looks sharp, however, NOTHING on it
matches... each color is WRONG.

Navy came out with new uniforms with the idea of phasing out the traditional
jumper etc. It was found that shipboard life was not conducive to the suit
type uniforms for E-1 through E-6 as they cannot be folded and put in a
locker like the jumper and 13 button pants. Thus the suit and tie uniform
was made optional. I am not sure of the rules that are used today.
Furthermore, I don't give a crap it you like the uniform or not. Most Army
types that make fun of Navy uniforms usually end up getting the shit beat
out of them from a "Donald Duck" "Colonel Flagg"

A prayer for our times:
"…In this time of war against Osama bin Laden and the oppressive Taliban
regime - We are thankful that OUR leader isn't the spoiled son of a
powerful politician from a wealthy oil family who is supported by
religious fundamentalists, operates through clandestine organizations,
has no resect for the democratic electoral process, bombs innocents, and
uses war to deny people their civil liberties. Amen."

"working uniform" has nothing to do with dress blues.
the navy dress blues, in my opinion and the opinion of just about
everyone I served with in the Navy was that the dress blues are sharp as
hell and show the tradition of the navy.....

jumper!!!
I for one agree with tradition and I served from 1984 through 1992 and still
feel that the jumper and 13 button trousers are the best looking dress
uniform.

1964 selected E-5's & 6's were testing the "NEW" Navy uniform on board the
ships. It didn't work out there either because of the storage area and the
pressing, cleaning, etc. required. I've always liked the old uniform with
the Dixie cup lid. I really liked the flat hats too. But I'm not wearing
them anymore so it's up to the ones in uniform now if they want to break
with tradition I guess. HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL.

i serve in the navy today and i think the blues are the best looking uniform
in the military today. the "cracker jacks" are a long standing part of navy
tradition and i dont see those being replaced anytime soon. the 13 buttons
have a meaning as does the piping on the jumpers. i was givien the servey as
to what i thought of the uniforms we wear today. that survey was basically
about a working uniform. also, as posted before the jumpers, dungarees, and
other uniforms can be folded down to a small package that can be easily
stored in your tiny space allotted to you on a ship. the branch of the navy
that wears cammies are called marines.

The manager wants to see you - maybe you'd better pack up your
makeup...
Clothes stops were short (`1') lengths of cordage with each end kept
from unraveling by metal crimps. They were used instead of
clothespins, back when Sailors washed their own clothing.

I looked in a pre-WW2 BJM and they were called clothes stops then.
I've no idea when they originated, but I suspect it had to be pre-WW1.

"..CLOTHES STOP - A small diameter cord, approximately 12 inches, used
to tie laundry to a clothes line - the early Navy clothes pin. Issued to
recruits until 1973."
We were issued one such item, again, I can't remember if that's what
they called it.
Looked for it in my BJM, couldn't find a reference to it anywhere... was
issued the BJM in '90
OldGezzer
would roll them up as tight as possible and tie them with two clothes stops.
Them put them in our 3' x 3' foot locker. They dried pretty much wrinkle
free. If we wanted a crease we would put the dress uniforms under the fart
sack on our hammock. Ah the good old Rocks & Shoals days of the Navy.

Okay, this I do remember. I was issued a roll of this stuff back in boot
camp 1984!! It was basically a length of string with the metal crimps
placed about 12" apart. You had to have a knife to cut the lengths apart
though. I still have some of the original stored somewhere around here!!!!
If I remember correctly the only we used them for back in boot camp was to
tie our white hats on the line!! It was the only thing we were responsible
for cleaning as everything else was shipped off to the laundry.

2) To walk my post in a military manner, keeping always on the alert and
observing everything that takes place within sight or hearing.
3) To report all violations of orders that I am instructed to enforce.
4) To repeat all call from posts more distant from the guard house than my

5) To quit my post only when properly relieved.
6) To receive, obey, and pass on to the sentry who relieves me, all orders
from the CO, CDO, OOD, and officers on Petty Officers of the watch only.
7) To talk to no one except in the line of duty.
8) To give the alarm in case of fire or disorder.
9) To call the OOD in any case not covered by instructions.
10) To salute all officers and all colors and standards not cased.
11) To be especially watchful at night and during the time for challenging,
to challenge all persons on or near my post and to allow no one to pass

These may not be worded perfectly as I don't have access to my BJM right
now, but I do remember the "General Orders" for the most part as I violated
number 7 when I was standing ASF in Hawaii and the Gunny in charge caught
