Navy versions, too. "Can't see me, I look like a digital ocean".

If you actually fall into the ocean, this may be counterproductive to your interests.

Always thought that was weird when I used to work on a navy base, and I don't know if it is typical of the other branches too, but they seemed to have a slightly altered version of their uniforms pushed on them every 6 months or so.

That is partly for opsec reasons.

Forcing potential "unauthorised personnel" to constantly be sourcing new uniforms is a legitimate method to add another layer of difficulty to gaining access. The people who really give a shit will notice if you're wearing out of date uniforms.
