Of course you could be in the Navy...Where I guess defense of blueberry patches is expected to be common
Or we don't want the enemy to see us after we fall overboard...

Saw the Navy digi-flage outside about two hours ago. It might work after twilight, but I'm hard put to think of an environment, even urban, where it would not stand out like red rubber ball on an putting green in full daylight.
The original AF digital pattern's colors (Gray, Green, Tan, and Air Force Blue) worked better than this Navy pattern (and I would argue better than the current color scheme).

looks like the Chinese navy are also not too sure about this camoflage thing. She forgot to put cam-paint on her hands; I can see her...

I think the ACU looks a bit too blue-ish on this photo, but other than that it's a good photo.
Good camouflage looks differently.
Multicam isn't truly good camo either; I prefer 3D camo on the arms and head:
