Used to be neat to see all the different uniforms flooding the downtown.

Now they all seem to dress in their civilian clothes...so as not to stand out, I guess.







Some years ago in San Diego, I asked about that, because there were

dozens of navy ships around, but very few guys in uniform. Bartender

told me the navy guys dressed in civilian clothes when off duty so as to

avoid fights with morons trying to prove their manhood by punching a

military guy.



Seems possible, but I don't know.

When you get military from three or four different nations,it's best they all look casual, otherwise there is team brawls.
