Thank god.... hopefully they make these literally cooler than the current NWU's. With a bullet proof vest and gun belt in the Japan summer you get drenched in sweat in minutes. Hopefully these will be better....

So SPECWAR now has one set of desert cammies, and everyone else has another? So we now have coveralls, AWGs, utilities/wash khaki, NWU types I, II, and III, DCUs, MARPAT (for USMC Corpsmen) and ACU (for guys on IA). I count 9 types of authorized working uniforms, going down to 6 once December 31st rolls around. So we started out with 6 and ended up with 6, 3 of which are the same. Great.

I really wish the Navy would move away from sewing rank and warfare designators on our uniforms.

Why, it's easier. Never have to do anything with it once it's sewn on. I like it.

Hell, when I first came in people had their ranks embroidered on the shirts, looked very nice. However, it was abolished for some unknown reason to me.

When you move in rank, would you have to get entirely new uniforms since it's all sewn in? I mean I know it's not everyday you go up in rank, but you're still spending more money, no?

Stay away from the Velco Monster if you know whats good for you. The ACU is a terrible uniform for a multitude of reasons. In the field that pattern is useless. I wore my rain gear the whole time during SERE because you had a harder time spotting the old Euro cammy than the new digi gravelflage. Second the Velco... Every F'ing thing is Velco. After about 3-4 months the Velco stops working. The edges curl first and eventually it stops grabbing all together.

Nope, they're little patches, have the old rank removed and the new one put on. It usually costs a total of ten dollars per uniform. It may add up, but it doesn't add up to anything near what the pay raise is for advancing.

Seriously? Doesn't sewn on make sense for a working uniform? No chance of a FOD hazard or catching it on something.

Now, Service and Dress uniforms? Yeah, keep the bling. That and you can tell on a quick glance who's f'ed up because their insignias are AFU.

What's up with the guy doing the Mandarin collar thing in the first pic? Looks retarded. Why is the Navy insisting on going Army-style with the cammies with things like this, and the whole sleeve roll thing?
