WASHINGTON (Aug. 3, 2016) The Dept. of the Navy announced that it will transition from the Navy Working Uniform (NWU) Type I to the NWU Type III as its primary shore working uniform. While, the NWU Type I will be phased out over the next three years, effective Oct. 1, 2019, all Sailors will be expected to wear the NWU Type III as their primary Working Uniform when ashore or in port.

The Navy Times<\/a> called the “Type 1” uniform that the Navy adopted a few short years ago “the dumbest uniform ever”. I disagree – the ladies looked real good in that uniform, I don’t know if it was the style or the colors, it was just attractive on the women, to me anyway.<\/p>\n

This from the Navy<\/a>;<\/p>\n

Over the next three years, Sailors may wear either the NWU Type I or III, but effective Oct. 1, 2019, all Sailors will be expected to wear the NWU Type III as their primary Working Uniform when ashore or in port.<\/p>\n

While the Navy is developing an incremental regional fielding plan for the NWU Type III, this transition period will give Sailors time to prepare for the change and allow them to get maximum wear out of recently purchased NWU Type I uniforms.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

For those of you who love Ray Mabus, these uniform discussions have been the focus of his time as the Navy Secretary, because it’s easier to make uniform decisions than it is to fight a war;<\/p>\n
