This Qualifies As Surreal

The Navy tests new uniforms:

Like this:



And this:



Why?

Because:

Navy officials are considering replacing the working khaki's for chiefs and officers, the coveralls, and the standard blue shirt/blue pants ensemble with one uniform for everyone.

The new kind of camouflage is not really meant to keep sailors from being seen, but is more to keep stains from standing out.

And what else do Navy officials believe:

Officials believe they've found a uniform that can be thrown in the washer and worn, one that lasts longer, and one that screams "Navy."

I would say that it screams Marine-wanna-be.

But then I'm just an ex-army guy.
