I know some of the three & four star Admirals have been a fan of this uniform, specifically Adm Mullen.
That's cool and all, I understand creating a PT uniform, but this?
Ok, yeah the PT uniform might look a little dumb, but if someone thinks we should have one, particularly in light of our new "culture of fitness," ok, that makes sense. We should look like a military unit if we are going to do more Command pt evolutions. Don't get me wrong, I can take it or leave it, but at least the reasoning makes sense.
But the new khakis? We actually got rid of this uniform. It serves no operational purpose i.e. new DCU's/BDU's/flight deck uniforms for durability, safety, etc. AND it only adds to the number already large number of uniforms we have. This would even makes sense if it was combining and then reducing the total, but as far as we have know it is not.
I would just like to know what the reasoning behind this is. I hope it's not because the current Navy leadership are WWII buffs.
