This may or may not appeal to you Navy guys and girls. Let me know how you feel.
The Navy beginning Oct. 1 will transition to a green camouflage uniform that’s worn by expeditionary forces like SEALs.
The Navy plans to phase out its blue-and-gray camouflage uniform that was widely mocked for hiding only sailors who fell overboard and needed to be rescued, the service announced Thursday.

PO1 John Miller - I know how he feels though. We recently got told that we will no longer be issued our boots because "we are issued a pair in tech school and given a clothing allowance every year". Even though my career field specifically states that we have to have steel toe which are about 40 bucks more expensive. However, there is no word on them giving us an extra allotment for that requirement. Meanwhile.... they feel it necessary to spend more money designing different uniforms for all the branches. Why don't they just stick with the one and move on to something more important.

If they completely got rid of Sailors wearing Camouflage Uniforms all together I would be happy. When I was in the only Sailors wearing Camouflage were Seals, Seabees and Corpsman attached to Marines.

The problem is that the Navy is doing more JTF missions all over the world and on the ground that need a BDU style uniform. The last number between NSW/NECC and some other small units was around 100,000 personnel that would be in that unifrom most of their career. The other thing is you have fleet types that will go back and fourth in NECC commands, so in the and I feel this is the correct course of action. The uniform looks good and is a good uniform for shore duty and shore deployed commands.

honestly I hate this look. I'm an OLD Salt. To me Jean pants and shirt is the only work uniform needed. I still have mine from 1976. Blue Jeans and a blue jean shirt

I wasn't in the Navy, but wearing denim jeans and a denim shirt used to be favorite look. I still like denim shirts, PO2 Mark Saffell.
