Anyone have any solid information on the uniform changes outside navytimes?

I was tracking new NWU material, new coveralls and new whites with blue piping. But everyone seems to have a different set of items that was changed.

Also, anyone know of any better alternative to bates for NWUs? I've been out of uniform for almost a year and remembered how bad my boots sucked recently and thought I'd see if anyone had any better recommendations that didn't involve me saying they hurt my feet and I wanted BUD/s boots.

We've been over this. Bates is a conspiracy to get sailors to buy lovely boots so their boots break down and they have to buy new boots. Buy the flight deck boots they sell in the PX, when someone tries to call you out on it pull out a ruler and show them their boots are the same height as yours. Also, def don't shine your out of reg boots, it will just draw unwanted attention.

Although, we will only have true equality when showers are just co-ed like starship troopers.

Been working 14 hour days this week and still have to do christmas shopping etc after work. I bought some knob creek thinking I was going to SA Secret Santa it, but it'd be too hard to mail so I thought I'd open up the bottle I and try some. Turns out 100 proof whiskey will knock you on your rear end after shift work; also when you haven't eaten anything in 24 hours. Who knew?

I'm working an angle still with the help of a goon, but in general my ship has sailed. JAG reminded me they're on my command's side, not mine, and the IG reminded me they work for the hospital that screwed me, not for me. I can't even fix this for the next person thats in my shoes. I can go on for a long time about all this but it just pisses me off and makes me pace around my room. Before they shoved me in there, I was a kool-aid sailor. Not even done with C-school and I was ready to board for my warfare. A pin I don't even know where my books are for now.

Dude, your command treats you like total poo poo. Get out and go civilian or contractor, the poo poo you put up with isn't worth it.

I think I told you guys this, but we have a 6 year chief in our field. I actually I think I see more red rockers in my field than gold.

Hey, this just loving clicked with me. Congrats man! If you end up at ft. meade let me know,

I just finished a 56 hour work week and went to an Army/Navy boxing match. It was actually a lot of fun, but god drat you'd think there'd be more Navy that close to the Academy. I seriously think the 10 people in our group were the only ones cheering for the future naval officers to beat the poo poo out of the army future officers.

What's the address shippie? I only know of the one in Columbia...

It literally opened up 2 weeks ago. It's in the same shopping block as the Wegman's, Target, and Safeway on route 3. Not even on google maps yet.

It's like trying to get teenagers to practice abstinence. You should teach them get prenuptial agreements instead.

Could being the operative term. I could easily stay in the area until some detailer decides I need to move to Georgia for some reason.

I'll bet that statistically, being tall is the most helpful trait in getting a command.

Dusty's a PS1.

How dare you not have an encyclopedia like knowledge of everyone in the Navy thread.

He's also probably the most helpful person in the Navy threads, so there's no way he could be an officer :smug:

NOICMD just does book 3. The test is on books 1 and 2, and then book 3 is memorizing a bunch of poo poo that you write down on a white board.

Also just stood my last watch ever. As of January the people in holding will be manning all quarterdeck watches :dance:
