SWO Leather Jacket

[Renegade One]

I’m thinking they could have a movie coming out now with the commissioning of the SWO jacket.

Let’s see Top Float, or Top Deck for the title??

I think Tom Hanks' new movie "Greyhound" will fill the bill nicely.

You can’t have SWOs adding side openings to those pockets and sticking their hands in them like those dirty brown shoes. This ensures it doesn’t happen.

Something tells me that answer is legit.
Thanks.

The pockets on the front side of the jacket look like they are too far from the midline. Is there a reason for that?

I kinda think they missed the boat (so to speak) by not making a front pocket = back pocket pattern. You know, like the old school "ass in front" pattern from the dungaree pants.

I mean what a great icebreaker that would be at the bar, when someone asks why there are front pockets on the back of your leather jacket that look just like the pockets on the front of your leather jacket! And you could tell them about heritage.

The real question is does the SWO leather jacket repel the COVID?

Perhaps, it is certain to repel women.

Beating this dead horse back to life:

What’s more SWO than releasing a second navadmin in 6 months about how to zip your black leather SWO jacket and giving COs discretion on whether or not you can wear it at GQ?

This is still ok, right?

While I’m not as up to speed on NWUs as other uniforms, so much looks wrong here! I saw a video with a VADM where he had all tan rank tab with black stars? Didn’t realize color sleeve patches and different rank tabs are allowed. Last update I saw was the silver Captain rank, not to be confused with the 18 year old wearing PO3.

Admiral Foggo is a full Admiral, and dual-hatted as NAVEUR/NAVAF.

And his aide and PAO both need to be slapped. The loop for letting the boss walk out of the office like that, and the PAO for letting that photo get posted online.

Tracking on ADM Foggo (good buddy was his aide). Seperate to the screenshot I posted above, I was referencing a video I saw online of another flag who had a tan tab with black stars (might have been CNP)? That’s why they have a staff and aides, right. So they don’t look like a football bat on LinkedIn!

Former NAVEUR/NAVAF/C6F/STRIKFORNATO Staff weenie here and that hideous use of patches is because NAVEUR/NAVEUR is also triple-hatted as Commander, Allied Joint Force Command Naples, which is a joint command and NATO command which means there is standardization of stuff across multiple branches and nations there. They have some weird patches in order to make sure everybody knows who's who in the zoo.

I dig wearing command patches on the left shoulder in Type 3s, though. Seems like an opportune place for a little esprit de corps and morale.

So does one wear 8 point or pisscutter (with properly salty dip) with this particular uniform? Inquiring minds and all that.

 

[Hair Warrior]

Yeah, ADM Foggo recently wore a NWU Type I rank insignia on his NWU Type III blouse, but I figured he has four gosh darn stars and he’s been in the Navy roughly as long as I’ve been alive so he can wear whatever he dang well wants.

Black combo cover...you know...to keep the sea bag small.

One hidden gem in that NAVADMIN is they prescribed it as optional outerwear with SDBs in lieu of the IKE, making Service Dress Aviator unofficially blessed. Now that NWUs are verbotten in the Pentagon, I plan on mixing this into my repertoire since Service Khakis are the devil's uniform.

Edit: Also with Blue Garrison Cap because fuck it, why not. Die a thousand deaths combination cover.

I might actually have a 7⅝ garrison cap somewhere. Not even sure if that came with the Johnny Cashes we got back in OCS though. It was back in the last millennium, which was a pretty long time ago.
