>Sailors / Marines>Wear blue ocean camo>So you can hide in the water!??!?!>Fall overboard>Oh shitSeriously, what's the point of blue camo? Its not like marines even swim up to beaches. Do they plan to hide in rivers and lakes?
>>65266466Military contractors need to buy expensive yachts for themselves and overpriced Audi's for their children.
>>65266466Probably IFF more than anything. You're hitting a beachhead, they know you're coming because of the artillery bombardment and all the landing craft on the horizon, so its more important to keep track of everybody and not shoot friendlies than it is to be invisible in the sand dunes.
>>65266466>Seriously, what's the point of blue camo?Because the Navy wanted to be like the cool kids (the other services) instead of embracing being the Navy.
If you fall off a modern warship you're dead anyway
>>65266466See >>65266519Unironically the rule of cool.
>>65266466USN said it was to extend "useful life" of the working uniforms by hiding stains, because when they are all on ship together with no civy eyes the most important thing is to look good.real mechanics will tell you if they got a grease or paint or mustard smear on their clothes they WANT to be able to see it so they don't transfer it.probably some BS about camo when on deck.
>>65266675how often does it happen?
