Question on BDUs - Please help

[talkram]

Hey there.

I reenlisted on Tuesday into the Navy reserves. I have been out of Active duty since 2006.

The only uniforms I have left are my woodland BDUs and I do not want to report for my drill weekend in civilian attire. Are these still authorized after the new uniform change?

The Seabees still wear the greens... they have yet to switch over

It appears so:

Occasions For Wear
The NWU is intended for year-round wear and shall be the standard working uniform ashore. The NWU is designed to accommodate male and female sailors and to fulfill multi-functional/geographical uniform requirements at sea and ashore.


All existing working uniforms will continue to be authorized for wear until December 2010. Sailors who have not been issued NWU's at Recruit Training Command (RTC) or purchased NWU's while assigned to an active rollout location must maintain their current working uniforms until the NWU is available in the area/region assigned.

Woodlands are still used .... but is that what everyone at your particular unit is wearing ... that's the question !!

I'd show up in them ... uniform is better than civvies. I'm sure you'll figger it out real quick.

What's your rate now ??

I reenlisted into my original rating.

Mineman *shudder*

but I got attached to the security department so I am happy about that.

A mineman .... wow, I didn't know we even had them still. Very cool ... !!

Sounds like you will actually get to do some work during your duty time.
