The topic of uniforms has come up a few times here. My son is currently in the Navy and stationed in Guam on the USS Frank Cable (Sub Tendor) They have a ships webpage, Today I noticed a picture of the two current uniforms all in the same frame. Neither of the two sailors is my son. From the caption you can see that both are 2nd class. One in dress uniform and one in work uniform. I understand this change was done so a sailor only needs 2 uniforms total. Not 4 or 5 between blues and whites, dress and work.
Here is the link.
