I just got out of the navy like 15 days ago. The new uniforms are because of the sailors complaining about how crappy are unifroms are. The colors were picked because the matched the colors used on a ship so if you get paint or grease on them then you don't have to buy a new set. it will blen in better.
Our everyday working uniform is coveralls. At $50 a set you dont want to replace them often. With camie'syou can replace only one piece of the set and it becomes more cost efficent for the lower ranked sailors.
the new camo uniforms only replace coveralls and utilities (formerly dungarees). the have a new working uniform to replace the working blues and whites.
