For sailors eager to swap their infamous "blueberries" camouflage with the new forest-green working uniform, the wait is officially over.
The Navy Exchange Service Command announced this week that the Navy Working Uniform Type III, soon to become the standard shore work uniform for all sailors, went on sale at exchanges within Navy Region Southeast on Monday.
The region, which stretches as far west as Texas and includes Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, had been scheduled to receive the new uniforms in January, Courtney Carrow, a spokeswoman for NEXCOM, told Military.com.
"A lot of the sailors are highly anticipating the change and really excited, so we're trying to do what they're looking for and what they're asking for," she said.

The new uniform has a "Drop Seat" in the back for easy access for the "Rear Admiral".
ReplyDeleteNavy is a great place for Jake to go, he likes those words like, "Seaman, Poop Deck, go down below, Rear Admiral, Fantail".
