Well, this not so sailor actually likes his NCD's - never though I would say it. I do also take great delight in driving chiefs insane with my CADPAT slip-ons ;D. I think it looks mentally challenged with the CADPAT and green T-shirts, but, I'm not ready to be called a PO yet...
As for the argument for CADPAT on the ships because Marines wear theirs, well, apples, meet oranges. Marines are soldiers and therefore dress like them - it sets them apart from the crew of the ship, as they are supposed to be. Don't forget, Marines are on ships (other than assault ships) for the purpose of security and in old times to put down mutiny, so therefore had to look apart from the crew to tell good guys from bad. Besides, as someone mentioned and I'll retierate, combats have alot of polyester in them and therefore melt and stick to you and burn you in a fire - NCD's have some semblance of fire retardation to them.
