They\u2019re replacing blue outfits \u2014 nicknamed blueberries \u2014 that have been the Navy\u2019s only authorized work uniform since July 2010.<\/p>\n<p>The first sailors to get the new uniforms will be at the Navy\u2019s Recruit Training Command in Great Lakes, Ill., at Officer Candidate School in Newport, R.I., and in the Southwest Region, the Navy said in its message.<\/p>\n<p>The old gear is being phased out partly because of sailors\u2019 complaints, former Secretary of the Navy Ray Mabus said last summer. Sailors have panned the blue outfits as uncomfortable, heavy and a fire hazard.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Yeah, well, whatever. Who actually cares that the Navy has a camouflage uniform &#8211; they ride boats, big gray looming targets. I get that camouflage is cool-looking, but what a waste of taxpayer dollars. If anyone could pull off the old cotton OD green fatigues (which cost about $13\/set) it&#8217;s the Navy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stars &#038; Stripes reports that the US Navy is changing their duty uniform again from the &hellip; <a title=\"Navy changes uniform again\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=74562\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Navy changes uniform again<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":74563,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[119],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-74562","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-navy"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74562","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=74562"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/74562\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/74563"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=74562"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=74562"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=74562"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
