I think that may in part be because the official term for them is "NWU". Try to say that out loud. The only people in the Navy that wore cammies up until now were the MAs, so most people don't own any. This is a pretty big change, and I am liking it. I think the blue and grey looks really nice.Anahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472342143854293192noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930179954708464742.post-80236694825680086522010-01-28T11:40:03.550-05:002010-01-28T11:40:03.550-05:00Congrats on the win!

I looked at the contest...Wow, that's exciting! I looked at the contest and thought the same thing...what are my chances? It's interesting to read the frustrations you have in living out of the US. We have some of the same here...but we at least have several tailors. <br /><br />During ball season here, we had 2 full mess-dress uniforms sitting on our credit card because we could not get correct measurements or accurate info on sizing, so he didn't have time for an exchange, just had to order another one...and still have it tailored. The NEX is not helpful at all with size info.<br /><br />And as far as the term "cammies" goes...I'm guessing it's a sea-services thing. I've been in the Navy (mostly stationed with Marines), married a Marine (who became a Navy Chaplain) and that is the only thing I've heard Marines and Sailors call them. I always find that cross-service lingo interesting. We definitely speak different languages! I never thought of it sounding like jammies, though...that's cute!Carrie Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323016099139441976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1930179954708464742.post-73056449967664618302010-01-28T10:16:13.555-05:002010-01-28T10:16:13.555-05:00In Hubby's day they were called BDUs.
