Mnemonic

All of the people in the army camp are wearing jeans (じん). You thought soldiers were supposed to wear uniforms, but it looks like when they're in the camp they have to wear jeans.

Hints

Jeans are pretty durable, now that you think about it. And if the soldiers are working on these cars in the camp while they're there, it makes sense to wear a nice pair of jeans.
