How would you describe your level of skill/expertise between the first two you were paddles and the last time?
I only owned and wore long sleeve wash khakis on the ship when on duty…was there short sleeve?
Not sure I understand the question. Also, feel free to move this over to a more LSO/waving specific thread.
Sorry guys, misspeak. As others noted, I meant to say "wash khakis"
For the record, I have never worn any other uniform than flight suit on the boat that I can recall. I think I brought them on my first deployment, didn't need them, and never brought them on the boat again after that. I also bought those stupid blueberries, never wore them once, but I still have them if anyone wants some

Wash khakis were canceled in 2010, IIRC. CAG-5 squadrons, or at least we helo nerds, were wearing them for boat SDO. Once canceled, we convinced our front office to let us wear desert flight suits.Sorry guys, misspeak. As others noted, I meant to say "wash khakis"

I also bought the blueberries, and I think wore them once for a Boat O watch in Thailand.
Such a waste.
Similar. Think I wore wash khakis once or twice on nugget cruise circa 2004. Blueberries once as a hinge for in-port CVW duty officer. I wore Dickies and a jersey from time to time as CAG paddles, typically if I'd missed a flight suite wash day, and as a skipper I wore Dickies and squadron t-shirt from time to time - though on that particular cruise we had A LOT of relaxed grooming standards and dress-codes so there was a lot of choose-your-own-adventure with "uniform" items.
How does Abbott's and others stay in business
Profit margin on $5k "new officer commissioning packages"?
I guess. I only bought one set of whites and khakis after I commissioned. And I think the whites were terribly tailored.
Gotcha. Yeah, I never wore those after my 2/c MIDN cruise (in the late 90's).
Commissioned in 2010. Wore blueberries during OCS, rarely ever again. Maybe once or twice for Boat SDO but our senior watch officer got the front office to bite on opposite color bags. Never had wash khakis, only the CNT/Polywool crap. Wore them as an SNA for SDO in VTs, HTs, FRS, and fleet squadron ashore. After that, maybe a few times in DC to go to the Pentagon since we worked at an out-site. There it was bags or Type 3s, I was the only Navy and the Army COL we worked for wore Multicam and DGAF.
Type 3s I avoided until I went to Bahrain, now I actually like them. Once broken in they are pretty functional and comfortable. The jacket situation sucks though.

Looks like the Navy is whooping it up for their 250th!

Good thing they recognized that the only thing that would look worse than a bunch of Soldiers who are not part of the Old Guard marching would be a bunch of Sailors who are not part of the Ceremonial Guard marching.
