Updated Army Service Dress project

[FSTO]

The RCN has switched away from No 3s for shore units in Esquimalt as well, so I suspect there is more than just the CA's DEU shortages at play.


I wore No 4 "Work Dress" for the first few years I was in. It was dropped to simplify our orders of dress, and because it didn't look "military" enough.

I suspect the shittiness of the uniforms is exactly why it has been relegated to being used only a few times a year. If we had a "service" dress that wasn't miserable to wear, people wouldn't object to wearing it so much.

Before the Bay closed I picked up a couple of pairs of black Haggar pants. They don't wrinkle nearly as quickly as the issued pants, are stretchy, look contemporary , and are comfy. I wear them all the time. The only drawback is that the belt loops are designed for multicoloured belts some of the army folks wear.

At the RCN orientation last week, DNR was asking for volunteers to test out the idea of getting this order of dress for persons (mostly females I assume ) who would like to try them out.

Sometimes, the more one tries to obfuscate something, the more it stands out.

So goes a lot of m/c riders ('freedom . . . to look like each other?) and a lot of plain clothes and u/c cops.

Like ICE agents?
