I always loved working night shift during the deployment because breakfast was always something that was exactly what it should be and was never super great but was never horrible. Dinner was always a crap shoot and MIDRATS were just peanut butter packets, snakes, or something our jg would get for us from the wardroom.

So now everyone has to maintain yellow shirts for PT, brown shirts for Type 3s, white shirts for dress uniform, and blue shirts for blue coveralls?

They wore blue shirts with coveralls because blue became the default undershirt instead of white with NWUs. I assume they'll shift to whatever the type III undershirt is or go back to white.

Yup, Not sure of the exact count allocation, but I think if they were to have a seabag inspection it's 2 sets of PT gear, a matching number of undershirts for all other uniform types, so 4 brown shirts, 2 white shirts, and 2 blue shirts, if you have 2 sets of coveralls and dress whites/blues. If they do away with blue shirts they'll go back to white probably, but double the count requirement for white shirts, brown shirts would look gross with coveralls imo. So probably 4 brown shirts 4 white shirts (usually you keep a couple white shirts on the side on top of the base requirement for dress uniform inspection because they get grungy real quick). orange juche fucked around with this message at 04:06 on Nov 20, 2020 |

Just be a reservist and never get the right uniforms and be in a constant cycle of returning uniforms over and over. I've been in the reserves for 4 years, I've never had the right dress uniforms, and my type 3s are VERY much the wrong size. Its great. I'm sure crabmans never had an issue because he leads that blessed life lol.

Did I time travel three years in the past? Everyone watch out, this virus thing is gonna be huge. 3603.2 Undershirt is coyote brown. Blue shirts are out of regs. Still need white for dress, but its just two types of shirt, its not bad at all. People who complained that a brown undershirt looks bad with blue coveralls and a brown ballcap after the regs changed either exclusively wore cargo shorts and tapped out t-shirts on liberty or were mad when the Navy switched to dungarees and never got over it. Edit: beated while adding salt

I have no idea why, but wrapping breakfast in a tortilla with hot sauce made it like 3 times better.

Navy is known for making rear end backwards uniform decisions, so them requiring 3 shirts is not exactly a stretch of the imagination.

I still wear blue undershirts when I’m wearing scrubs at work, nobody over here seems to have figured what color is official out yet. Only heard anything when Someone Important was visiting and I was wearing a red undershirt like the America hater I am.

"Dealer/Chelsea" style ankle boots (known colloquially as Lox boots) with elastic-sides were issued to personnel working with Liquid oxygen for easier removal in case the boots would freeze upon contact. These boots are the best when wearing coveralls. I accidentally brought them onto the ship not knowing they were not in regs anymore after a LS1 gave them to me from a ship I was working on in 2018. Booo

I saw from people I still follow that the plank (replacing curlups) and cardio rowing were released. That rowing is super easy to pass of you do any sort of cardio. Then again all the cardio options were easy to pass, hard to get high scores imo

If you fail the plank it won't count against you this time around, but if you fail the push-ups or the cardio it's a failure. And it looks like I'm going to be a Chief Engineer out in Rota. Assuming my orders don't get changed between now and December of next year.

I had a command that wouldn't allow alternate cardio one cycle, and guess which cycle I failed the cardio segment on (because I fell out because my knees felt like broken glass was jammed in them).

Then again all the cardio options were easy to pass, hard to get high scores imo I'm gonna request to do the row next time for funsies to see if I can max out on the score. I'm 6'4" 215lb, I have a wicked unfair advantage on a C2 rower. For some dumb reason I was expecting the Navy to adopt the Marine Corps rowing test with 5000m which is what I practiced for, turns out we don't even have to do half of that! Wheeee

Yeah doing a 2k isn't bad at all because you can just go ham the entire time as far as rowing is concerned. I'd definitely need to retrain for it because untrained I can only get like an 8:30 because I haven't seriously touched a C2 in ten years and I gas out, but my old relaxed split when I was actually rowing would put me at 6:40. That maxes out the cardio by a pretty fair margin without beating myself to death. Fastest I ever ran the 1.5 was an 8:30 and that made me want to die.
