Mark Runstrom, director of U.S. Fleet Forces Command\u2019s fleet supply operations and services, said in the release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cFrom the onset, we\u2019ve wanted this effort to be Sailor-driven and will rely heavily on Sailor input to make final design recommendations to Navy leadership,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sailors E-7 and above are testing khaki versions of the uniform, while those E-6 and below are trying on both a dark blue uniform and one featuring a light blue shirt and dark pants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like the Navy working uniform, these new outfits will be worn untucked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pants will be unbloused, but both the shirt and pants can be tucked quickly for general quarters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The uniforms also include a low-cut molder boot that has no laces and is held on foot with elastic, making them easier to take on and off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A wide rigger\u2019s belt will be worn with the uniform and there are no changes planned for ball caps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pin-on rank, warfare insignia and name tags are being worn with the prototypes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hundreds of sailors are testing the
