It’s official: Sailors can now be seen in town in their blue cammies — but only for short stops.
Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Gary Roughead agreed June 23 to a proposal by Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy (SS/SW) Rick West to relax the off-base restrictions that have been in place since the uniform rollout began Jan. 15.
Sailors will now be allowed to make short stops while wearing their Navy Working Uniform during commutes to and from work. Previously, sailors wearing the uniform could not get out of their cars except for a road or medical emergency. Uniform-wearers also will be allowed to go to lunch and run errands wearing the uniform during the workday.
For full coverage, including details of the new rules, pick up this week’s Navy Times.
