Task Force Uniform - New Navy Working and Service Uniform

The Navy is working on new uniforms for us. The new Navy working uniform is a BDU type uniform, in either a digital (marine corps style) pattern, or the traditional woodland pattern. The colors are blue, haze gray, deck gray, and black. They recently arrived here at Camp Patriot, the people from Squadron 25, Naval Costal Warfare are wearing them. There are lots of features with these new uniforms. I personally like the rounded collars, and could go either way with the digital or woodland patterns. I like the pockets on the upper arm rather than the ones lower on the blouse. The mock turtleneck is sweet too, no more wooly sweater :) It will be a few years before these get issued, but they should have a decision made sometime in June hopefully on what uniform will be the new one.

They also have a service uniform that they are testing which will replace the service whites and service blues. These are typically office only type uniforms, and are distinctly Marine Corps looking, which is fine by me too. Who wouldn't want to mimic the best ground fighting force in the world :)

I had a chance to talk to Master Chief Carroll and ask some questions that I have been dying to ask since I first saw these uniforms, and I must say that seeing them in person is much better than seeing them online in pictures.

take care
