When will we be able to order them online. As of now you can only buy the name tapes and other uniform items, just not the pants and blouse. Any idea?

It is going to be rolled out by region.. Read the article.. Look for your region, you probably will not be able to buy them online until they have rolled out thru all of them.
Good Luck, Look Sharp!

The Army does wear their ACUs when comming back from deployment for R&R, but not normal travel. Besides the Army has like 2 uniforms that everyone e-1 - o-10 wears, I guess that's why they call it uniform=the same!

Actually, the Army does wear their cammies on airplanes. I'm not sure if they are allowed to, however, I just saw individuals this last week on 3 out of my 4 flights wearing cammies. They were all wearing berets. I also saw Army individuals checking in baggage and going through the security gates at O'Hare, Atlanta & Orlando airports and getting on other flights....like they were flying home for the holidays or something. This isn't the first time I've seen them either in my 20 years in the Navy & traveling. Knowing that the Navy & Marines aren't allowed to wear them out, I'm always curious and look at the tapes to see what service they are in...I've seen Air Force on occasion, but mostly Army. I do remember when I was getting stationed with the Marines in Okinawa, the Devil Dogs that picked us up at the Naha airport were wearing cammies....but that was an official duty with a duty van, so I guess that's okay. I'm proud of my uniform, but these days, I would never wear it on an airplane....you never know who's around. With that being said, the rules are the rules. If Sailors & Marines aren't allowed to wear cammies off base, then so be it. Rules are there for a reason. You have the right to think a rule is "dumb" or "stupid" all you want, but you DON'T have the right to disobey it. This is the military, not Burger King. HMC(FMF)

What is the actual instruction that says, Command ball caps are authorized by your CO? My CO asked me to find out where its located and print it out so he can implement the use of Command Ball Caps here onboard.
Samantha Bellefeuille
· 8 months ago
i haven't actually seen anywhere in the instruction that you can wear the command ball caps. Here is what it says in the instruction.
A. THE FOLLOWING HEADGEAR MAY BE WORN WITH THE NWU: (1) EIGHT POINT CAP WILL BE WORN SQUARELY ON THE HEAD SO THAT THE VISOR IS ON A LINE AND JUST ABOVE THE LEVEL OF THE EYES. RANK/RATE INSIGNIA IS REQUIRED FOR E4 AND ABOVE PERSONNEL. (2) NAVY KNIT WATCH CAP, WHEN AUTHORIZED BY APPROPRIATE AUTHORITY, WILL BE WORN DURING COLD WEATHER CONDITIONS THAT MAY RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY IF NOT WORN. THE WATCH CAP WILL BE WORN DIAGONALLY FROM THE BASE OF THE BACK OF THE HEAD, ACROSS THE EARS AND ON THE FOREHEAD. RANK/RATE INSIGNIA IS NOT AUTHORIZED TO BE WORN ON THE WATCH CAP.
Hope this helps you!!

If you got your new uniform at your previous command it should be alright. But I know that I'm in C school at NSHS Portsmouth and we had to wait until the CO and CMC wore the NWU's for 2 weeks before we were authorized to wear it. You might want to call your new command to find out.
Hope this helps you!!

Why did the navy feel the Need to copy the Marine Corps with this NWU? At least this is more discrete attempt than the blatant coping of the USMC service "Charlie" uniform we have been wearing for decades. I guess imitation is the greatest form of flattery. GO NAVY!

2. concealment by some means that alters or obscures the appearance: Drab plumage provides the bird with camouflage against predators.
3. clothing made of fabric with a mottled design, usually in shades of green and brown, similar to that used in military camouflage.

Q. Which of the boots can you wear at a shore command and sea command.
LAS71
· 7 months ago
But for command master and senior chiefs — as well as force and fleet master chiefs — command career counselors, recruit division commanders and security or law enforcement sailors such as master-at-arms, the rules are different. These sailors, if they have dual warfare quals, will wear them stacked above the name tape while the identification badge is worn on the pocket flap.
I have not seen a Law Enforcement Badge capable of fitting on a pocket flap. Will there be one made for this uniform. The Law Enforcement Badges we have now would overlap the top and bottom of the pocket flap.

Seems like you haven't been to airport since 1984 if you're ignorant enough to make this statement. And just because my ID card says DEPT of NAVY shouldn't be relevant. That's a cop out if you ask me. My ID card also says "Geneva Convention", but I've never been to Geneva. Have an open mind for once and stop flagging all these folks for wanting what everyone else is entitled to. I've seen first hand that kids who wear their cammies on planes get drinks bought for them and have even seen them moved up to business or first class if there's availability. Yet we have get treated like second class shit, because we can't wear our utitilies (like we'd want to) on a plane. That's bullshit, and it's like saying that we have to be ashamed of our branch of the military. The CNO said he'd look into changing his thoughts on it after the uniform has had some time to work itself in. But for now, don't be one of the idiots that fucks it away for everyone by doing something stupid because all that does is justifies the CNO's policy of why we can't wear our uniforms anywhere but work. My two cents.

Obviously because you are an AO, you think you know everything. Your ID card says Department of the Navy because when you signed up thats who you work for, You dont work for the Department of the Army, or Airforce. There for you fall under the DEPARTMENT OF THE NAVYS rules and regulations. Maybe if everyone started wearing there uniforms properly and quit rolling over to places on base ie NEX in uniforms that are wrinkled like they slept in them last night and got up and came to work. If everyone took pride in there uniform and always looked sharp in it, this would not be an issue, But no I spend alot of time on the deck plates yelling at jr troops about jacked up uniforms. If you and even the E nothing's took the time took correct the problems with the sailors in your commands that have strayed away and I know leadership is to blame too, because there are alot of bad supervisors out there that say there not my problem just make things worse. As far as the Geneva Convention remark do you even know what that means?????? Maybe you should do like one of my old Gunners made me do Look it up and then make your remarks. As far as wear of command ball caps as of recent there is talk that it will be authorized with the NWU no official message yet.

Because someone way high up says we can't, because its tradition.
But, like that one poster says: Tradition - Just because you've always done it that way, doesn't mean its not incredibly stupid.
The Navy is all about tradition, whether its ridiculous or not. Hell, I'll give you a tiny example. On my ship, although its improper grammar, they still say "The smoking lamp is lighted..." even though proper English tells us it should be "lit".
