What are the uniforms called that the crew wears on ships that host fighter jets? They looks like characters from the wiggles!
long sleeve, bright red, green, yellow... maybe even purple. what branch are they attached to? navy? what are the purposes of the individual colors?
anyway, there was a photo i saw once of former pres bush walking on an aircraft carrier and being saluted by people in the colored uniforms, and i cant seem to find the photo again.

Flight suits. They're only worn by the aviation crew because working on the flight deck would jack up their regular uniforms ten times over.
Unofficially, everyone just calls them "skittles."
I forget what each color is...red is ordance, purple is fuel.
The colors just make their jobs stand out more when they're all mixed together on the flight deck.
