    OK, EDMC??? I retired in 92 and am not up on the current rating system. Are the NEC's still the same like a 3365 will be an EWS mechanical type??

    I started off as a 3355, went to nuc welding school 3351, ERS, EWS 3365, Cob 9779, CMC 9580. Funny, as I get more senior the Mickey Mouse BS doesn't bother me as much thinking about it. I tend to remember the good times. 20 hrs/day for six weeks and 20 cups of coffee/day. Wow, when I came off of that it was painful.

    What do you think about the new uniforms Chief???

    I like the new uniforms. I've had junior sailors say this about the new uniform: "It's the best thing the navy has done in 50 years." Very practical, does not show dirt, LOTS of pockets that are usable. They look very sharp even after a day of work.

    The coat is amazing! It was $250, but has a Gortex outer cover, fleece liner, lots of pockets, ventilation zippers, etc etc all the things that a ski coat has. It is very warm on the waterfront even in the biting wind. They got rid of organizational jackets so that all sailors now have the same jacket.

    In groton, they allow sailors to go to lunch in them off base during working hours. They say that we will be able to wear them around town soon. I hope they make the decision quickly, it is very convenient.

    All in all, it ha been a great improvement in a sailors' seabag.

    Good thing they did not use Machinery Gray and Seafoam Green as the camo colors
