he navy has lots of opportunities but you have to put up with the ice cream man uniforms (apologies to the sailors out there ;^)).

In four years (and not counting Boot Camp and all the pomp and circumstance there) I wore my dress my dress blues ONCE and my dress whites very sparingly aside from my stint in base security down in Orlando when I was bounced from Nuke School (class 9625M).
Spent 3.5 years basically living in coveralls doing real work in the oli lab/engineering spaces transferring and stripping diesel fuel.

Only had to wear to wear those hateful pretty-boy dungarees for quarters at 0545 and for some inport duty days. And I left before they made everyone buy those new thick ugly ones with the required "US NAVY" patch above the right pocket and your name with the same kind of patch above the left one.
We just stenciled ours by hand and it was so much easier (especially with coveralls you frequently wore at halfmast anyway).
