July 11 the Office of the Chief of Naval Personnel (CNP) announced they are changing the uniform regulations to give individual commands the ability authorize command ball caps with the NWU Type I, II and III. In my Opinion this is a terrible Idea. Ball Caps with NWU's just looks stupid. Not sure why there was such a big push to get this approved.

I agree the ball cap does look half way better once unbloused, also can be functional to protect sailors faces from getting sunburnt when they are authorized to unblouse. Also when working easier to stay on top of your head, instead of the eight point cover on a windy flightdeck.

I agree with ball caps. The Eight point cover just gets so dingy looking and half of the time doesn't match my uniform at all. I understand that you can buy a new one but the ball cap brings me back to the days of Utilities. If we cant wear the ball cap with NWU's what other uniform are we gonna wear it in? Coveralls? Thats only underway. I like repping my command no matter how shitty it may be! lol

Interesting. How far will the command authorization extend to? Off ship? Off base?? I agree with you nontheless. I can only imagine it looking half-decent without the blouse.
