The Navy has ditched its iconic and beloved coveralls for sailors aboard ships for a new, two-piece uniform that was finally approved last week after years of trials and a decade after a previous version of the uniform was found to be dangerously flammable.
Fleet Forces spokeswoman Lt. Cmdr. Madisyn Hansen confirmed that the 2-Piece Organizational Clothing — more commonly called the “2POC” — is now hitting the fleet.
The “organizational clothing,” which the Navy notes is different from a uniform, has been in development for several years but started to become a reality last October when 40 Ambassadors started wearing the new organizational clothing at select East Coast commands in order to showcase the new garment.
