I never understood why some people think we need to be "camed up" in the Navy. You want to look like a sailor ? I point you too Colin P's post.
Underway said:May I direct you to the USN and RAN for current navy examples that wear a camo pattern. I'm sure some SW Asian Navies Due as well (Singapore??). As someone who has and still does interact with the public regularly in a Navy uniform far away from the coast not even being recognized as being in the military is extremely frustrating.

Could always be worse >Underway said:Its about brand recognition and right now the RCN brand is overly expensive not working subs. The public doesn't even recognize their sailors in uniform. /RANT
Privateer said:Consider the procurement gong show in the US military driven by the desire of each branch to have its own unique cam pattern. Blueberry cam (a la USN) is useless operationally, unless you are doing battle in a Pop Tart factory. If RCN pers are working in an environment where they need actual camouflage (and not just a working dress that can be satisfied by overalls) then they should use the CF issued CADPAT.
jollyjacktar said:From what I gather, what is proposed to go is the # 3 Service Dress order. Office and shipboard dress will be NCD, unless you're required to be wearing DEU. But as I say, it's all scuttlebutt at the moment.
Get Nautical said:I think camouflage on a naval uniform looks rather silly.
jollyjacktar said:LOL, I don't imagine this idea will gain any traction. There are too many Officer types out there such as yourself FSTO who abhor the thought. Still, it's fun to see your heads spinning ala Regan from the Exorcist.
As I said earlier though, I will have the option in Ottawa and I will go, NCD.

As someone who has and still does interact with the public regularly in a Navy uniform far away from the coast not even being recognized as being in the military is extremely frustrating. The only uniform that is instantly recognized as Navy is the whites, (thank you Top Gun). Even DEU's look like civi pilot uniforms. If they brought back square rig that would surely help for NCM's. Its about brand recognition and right now the RCN brand is overly expensive not working subs. The public doesn't even recognize their sailors in uniform. /RANT
Edited for spelling and grammar...
FSTO said:Actually I'm afraid there are too few officers who abhor the thought of NCDs as office wear. Too many young officers today seem to be the type who would be comfortable walking downtown in their pajamas. Slobs are the lot of them I say.
jollyjacktar said:NCD don't have to be sloppy. If they're clean, pressed and the boots polished properly they can look professional enough. It's not a fashion show. I have seen many as well who are not presentable in S&P.
