The Blue Angels do not wear any G-suits. And they do not pull 7+ gs continuously...not to say that they dont, just not continuously.
The ejection seat has nothing to do with the G-suit. If that were true then the pilot would not have been able to punch out over the ocean 2 years ago after smacking the water.

The Air Force Thunderbirds do, I believe it is because of some AF regulation.
