Equation asked in another thread about USN working uniforms

WAAABOOM! GIT SUM!

Now as far as the Navy new green uniform or BDU's...I don't like it. So everyone is dressing like a Navy Seal camo unis or the Marines?

Yes the USN is changing it's working uniforms again..

This story was originally published at 3:47 p.m. Eastern on Aug. 4, 2016.
They failed to reduce the number of uniforms sailors must maintain. Their threads put sailors at risk for worsening burn injuries by melting. And sailors said they were uncomfortable and that the only camouflage they offered was when someone fell overboard.

The blue-and-gray cammies originally intended to be the Navy's mainstay uniform are officially headed for Davy Jones' seabag, ending a decade of wrestling with a revolutionary uniform concept that failed to get its sea legs despite updates and hundreds of millions of dollars in investment.

The blue-and-gray Navy working uniform, known as the Type I, will be dumped effective Oct. 1, Navy officials announced Thursday, though wear will be phased out over three years. In its stead, the digital woodland pattern cammies, or NWU Type III, will become the standard shore duty uniform across the service. The NWU Type III is a tactical uniform that has a reputation for being more comfortable and officials also anticipate some cost-savings by switching to it.

“We have heard the feedback and we are acting on it,” said Navy Secretary Ray Mabus in a statement provided to Navy Times Aug. 4. “As a direct result of sailors' input, effective October 1, we will transition from the NWU Type I to the NWU Type III(Green cammo) as our primary shore working uniform."

The announcement signals another tectonic shift in the Navy's changing seabag. Many details are still being worked out. What you need to know:
  • Green cammies. Sailors who don't currently wear the woodland cammies may start to do so in October, with their commanding officer's approval. These uniforms will start going on sale at uniform stores. Recruits will start being issued them in October 2017 and sets of these units will be rolled out to sailors over the next two years. By October 2019, green-and-tan cammies will be the shore duty standard uniform.
  • Blue cammies. Sailors will not be allowed to wear their blueberries after Oct. 1, 2019.
  • Fleet uniforms. Officials are working on a replacement to the unpopular flame-resistant variant coveralls worn in the fleet. In addition to the improved FRV coverall, officials are also pursuing a new direction after surveys found interest in a two-piece utility style uniform that's flame-resistant and can be worn at sea and ashore. A wear test is planned for 2017.
Since 1971 the US Navy has been in some sort of uniform flux...ridiculous.

The Type II Navy Working Uniform...yuck..I don't like it.

I prefer a working uniform like the Royal Navy. Not happy with the beret or how the rating/rank badges are worn on the front of the uniform..HOWEVER... I prefer this uniform over green cammos any day.
