Sweat pants it is!
Go into any surplus shop and you’ll see at least 4 different “every day wear” uniforms from the 90s to now.
I’m okay with (and generally supportive of) my taxes going toward military spending. Requiring servicemembers to wear a different style of clothing every 10 years or so is just a waste, though. Changing the uniform because some crusty old fuck decides they want to does not help the country win wars at sea.
These have been in for over a decade…
I remember when they the first NWUs first came out the heavy coat wasn’t available, the only way was if some “fell off a truck” but at least that meant the were half price.
Real nice Gortex jackets, but half price was still 100s of dollars.
Ironically they went to these because they hide stains better, but because you can wear them off base, they can’t be stained…
Which sounds like what led to this shortage.
I’ve seen the dungarees, the utility uniform, the blue camo pattern, and now whatever this is. I just don’t see what the point is in changing it over and over again.
Fuck man, you’re right…
Article called them NWUs and I just assumed the website fucked up the picture.
But the new NWUs are green, not blue like the ones I was thinking of.
On the plus side, now if you go overboard you’re not camouflaged so you can’t be seen by anyone on board.
Dicks out for master chief.

WTFF?

Who is losing their job for such a massive cock up?

Does this signal a return to calling Navy personnel “seamen”?
