So I'm glad to see some of the lesser used items going away, and more useful items coming into play. While I'd beg to say we don't really need four or even three sets of NWUs issued in boot camp, it's nice to see they're making cuts and adding what's necessary in place of them. I'm glad big Navy is trying to look out for us a little more.Response by PO2 Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 2 at 2015 10:29 AM2015-09-02T10:29:21-04:002015-09-02T10:29:21-04:00LCDR Private RallyPoint Member934628<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I get that we need to revise things at times but yes it seems ridiculous. My biggest concern is when old uniform items are no longer authorized. I spent a lot of money updating uniforms over the years that are no longer wearable. That isn't as much of a concern for me as an O4, but I know the same thing has happened to many junior enlisted and that price feels like a waste even if the new uniforms are provided (which they aren't always).Response by LCDR Private RallyPoint Member made Sep 2 at 2015 10:35 AM2015-09-02T10:35:11-04:002015-09-02T10:35:11-04:00SPC Jan Allbright, M.Sc., R.S.934646<div class="images-v2-count-1"><div class="content-picture image-v2-number-1" id="image-58140"> <div class="social_icons social-buttons-on-image">

They definitely have us beat on that one.<br /><br />I hate to say it, but it is basically an evaluation report bullet.

In 24 years of service I never met one single person who ever had participated in a survey for uniforms, makes one wonder where these decisions come from. That being said, I do not understand why someone always has to mess with perfectly good uniforms. Personally I despised the crackerjack uniform, it was and continues to be Navy tradition, because of those 13 buttons and stupid shoestring tie up on the backside. And the top was never easy to take off, drunk or sober. But still you wear your uniform with pride because I would say 99.99% of us take personal pride in how we look.Response by PO1 Glenn Boucher made Sep 2 at 2015 2:04 PM2015-09-02T14:04:00-04:002015-09-02T14:04:00-04:00MAJ Ken Landgren935479<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Our uniforms seem to chase the next war.Response by MAJ Ken Landgren made Sep 2 at 2015 3:17 PM2015-09-02T15:17:01-04:002015-09-02T15:17:01-04:00CDR Terry Boles935874<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Back in my Navy days in 1974 we were transitioning from Cracker Jacks to the coat and tie...4-years later we went back to the Cracker Jacks. Many evolutions of uniform changes have been observed by all services, to bad we cant leave well enough alone when we find a great service uniform that clearly defines each branch of service and is actually a well made and functional uniform. <br /><br />When we went from dungarees to some sort of pull over shirt and dark blue pants, the Navy discovered they were indeed not flammable, they just melted to your skin. So again the Navy pulls another hair brainier with the NWUs...a different generation of leaders but the same old hair brain uniform changes that cost us the service member who is also a tax payer to correct stupidity.Response by CDR Terry Boles made Sep 2 at 2015 6:05 PM2015-09-02T18:05:05-04:002015-09-02T18:05:05-04:00PO1 John Miller937046<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><br />CDR, I voted yes though there is SOME good coming from the new policy for active duty.
