New Navy PT Gear

[phrogpilot73]

Why not just punish/get rid of the asshats, and allow the rest of us self-regulate.

Is it because a good percentage of the asshats manage to stick around and get promoted???

Are there any pics available?

Read about this on NavyTimes...

The new gear includes a shirt made of moisture-wicking, odor-resistant polyester with the word "Navy" in reflective lettering on the front and back. The shorts, which come in 6- and 8-inch lengths, are nylon and have reflective piping and Navy lettering.

"They even have an ID-card pocket sewn in."

"Testing and evaluation — including determining the exact materials it will be made of — still continue."

I think I'll stick to old blue rims and detail shirts.

Yes, I feel this truly was the most pressing issue we are facing at the moment..

Who cares if I have not been able to get a new flight suit that fits properly in a year (can get 50, but not 50L so I have 2-3 inches of exposed flesh when I sit in an aircraft), I will have this nifty gold shirt that I will only wear twice a year and be charged 4x what it is worth by the NEX.

I truly believe this is NOT what we should be wasting time and effort on.

But, since the man says to do it. I will do it.

Your flying in "high waters"??????? Oh chit MB....... thats rough.

Didn't we already have a Navy PT uniform? I remember getting some blue daisy dukes and white T-shirts with NAVY on the back of them. When I got to P-Cola they made us buy "special" API PT gear. I guess the transition is like when we switched from the bell bottoms to Dickies. Everyone will wait until the last day to spend money on the new uniforms, and there won't be any left at the NEX.

Personally, I don't think they look that bad. Definitely the 8"ers for me though...

Cheer up,... you've got more in common with the USAF than you thought.

Now, back to my donuts... mmmmm,.... donuts......

well...let's just say I'm a little well endow...nah, who am I kidding...

Isn't the seal a little too detailed for anyone to even figure out what they're looking at while you run past them? Why didn't they just write "NAVY" in that cool 80s font?

 

[MasterBates]

I keep on thinking it is a PONY shirt.

Hello, USN? The 80's called, they are suing for unlawful resurrection.

Ya, I definitely see the PONY resemblance.

Just "Navy" on the shorts would be nice too...
