New watch - 27/Jul/2025

I've started rewatch of the show.

I'll periodically post comments about episodes, thoughts.

My memories, are, the organizational structure is pretty accurate. The drama overwrites military truth/accuracy.

Tex, the actor playing that guy was a hoot from day 1.

Digital cammy's for sailors is still just wrong, even though period accurate. Dungarees are the way it was, and should be.

What are the dungarees? A new uniform or are they actual dungarees?

They're blue-jeans basically - for the longest time, the Navy's "working uniform" - the uniform they'd wear on a day-in, day-out basis on a ship or even on a base, were blue jeans , boots, & a blue button-down collared shirt. And they were called Dungarees.

I was a Sea Cadet as a teenage kid in HS, and had to wear this shit every weekend for several years & I hated it ... I remember thinking, "I'm definitely going to be either an Officer or a Marine, because these uniforms SUCK..." 🤣

This has made me start a rewatch, only seen it once, about 3 years ago, so looking forward to it again.

The dungarees were the enlisted (E-6 and below) with blue jean bell bottoms, a blue chambray shirt, and the white hat, or unit ball cap (if permitted).
