wow, seems like there are still alot of options based on what is represented here...... also did know there wa going to be a grey shirt option for the working uniform, I thought it was only going to be khaki....

I've worn the Blue digis, and I must say they are quite comfortable, not sure how practical they are yet, and definately not sure how practical they will be when someone falls overboard, but they're comfortable.

how is it you as a cadet got to wear them? were you somehow involved in the testing process???

I got my hands on a set because I live in San Diego, and they field tested them in Coronado, and some sailor that was part of TFU gave them to a surplus store after he left the navy, so I picked up a set just because I thought they were cool, and the Sea Cadet staff is mostly current enlisted and wanted to check them out.

Here's a picture of me in them

I'm glad the fleet is getting the new uniforms, because now there is going to be a huge surplus of the utilities. When I go to national trainings, where I train the new cadets, we still have cadets wearing unforms from the 60s and 70s, I have even run into a few cadets wearing WWII vintage uniforms. So hopefully now we'll all have the newer utilities.

I would like to see more of a traditional uniform. These look like a mish mosh of several different uniforms (not at all navy) thrown into one. I wish they would bring back the blue and white stripe seersucker summer work uniform for the females. Woman should not have to look like Men in Uniform......some things you just can't hide!!
