Dunno about uniforms for sure... But if its anything like Real World USN? Coveralls everywhere. Probably with spells woven into the fabric like protection against explosion, dismemberment, vacuum, fire, radiation, and electrical discharge.
Hell, actual Navy coveralls have fabric woven such that once it gets wet, you can slap a bunch of air in through the collar, close it with one hand, and presto! Your coveralls are now an emergency flotation device.
Yes, it really works! This was part of our training in boot camp. Our "graduation" exercise included a 20ft (6m) jump into water, this emergency flotation technique, and getting ourselves into one of the actual life boats used by the Navy.

On another topic, talking about Sakura in the other thread got me to thinking about what she might like to try and do with her Sakura Cards next.
And then I realized that with Benjamin mentoring her now and then, she might draw a bit of inspiration from him. After all, he's going to be proving time and time again just how absurdly useful his anti-mage ability is.
Thing is, his anti-mage ability isn't that he negates magical power. Instead, he's scrambling it up like how active jamming works against radar and radio transmissions. (This also explains why he's like Krytponite against Espers. He doesn't 'erase' their personal realities. He just plain messes them up, and the feedback an Esper experiences from this is literally atrocious.)
Which means, if a mage is careful enough, they can actually duplicate his trick! So, what would a Sakura Card based off of Benjamin be like?
Possible Names:
The Noisy
The Jammer
The Buzz
Also thought of "The Sapper", but this can be another specialty card that Sakura creates. It would work with other Sakura Cards to perform tasks just like actual Sappers in the military - demolitions and building fast, temporary structures like bridges and walls. Not that her cards can't do this, but with The Sapper's help it happens faster and is much harder for an enemy to break down.
