 Welcome. I'm joined today by Captain Janet Bristol, Branch Head of Uniform Policy for the Chief Naval Personnel. Here, talk about the rollout and policy of the NW Type 3, released in a recent Nav Admin. Ma'am, thank you for being here. Morning, MC2. Thanks for having me. So what can you tell us about the where roles of the NW Type 3, such as the brown fleece and the brown boots? And how will that affect sailors? That's a great question, MC2. So black fleece and black boots are primary in Conus. Brown boots may be worn optionally upon approval of the commanding officer. When it comes to brown fleece, that's only in O Conus where during operations by our expeditionary forces or individual augmentees. So when will sailors see an increase in their clothing replacement allowance? And what will that cover? So the clothing replacement allowance will start on October, and sailors will start seeing an increase in their clothing replacement allowance over the next two years. It will cover all of the items required for purchase for this rollout of the uniform. And it will vary by sailor because the clothing replacement allowance is added into individual sailor pay on their anniversary date. So what is the distribution plan for the uniform? So our fielding plan is a regional rollout. And we start always with recruit training command in Great Lakes issuing the uniform to our recruits. Officer Candidate School. We're also starting in region Southwest on one October. Then we're going to move to the Southeast region in January of 18. We moved to Midland July of 2018. And then Japan in 2019 January. And then we finish up in region Northwest in March of 19. OK. Yep. A lot of good information. So what can you tell us about the boot study? So we have the CNO would like better boots for our sailors. We've had some dissatisfaction with the comfort of our current Navy issue Black Boot. And so we're currently testing boots on board the USS Boxer and the USS Monterey with 350 sailors. And we're testing three types of Black Boots that are eight inch level boots. And we hope to have a decision on what the outcomes were from the study for leadership decision by the end of the year. OK, great. Awesome. So why is this change necessary? Why the NW type three? So we try to take sailor feedback into consideration every time we make uniform change. And we've heard sailors who say the type one is a little bit uncomfortable, heavy, not very breathable. So moving to the type three, it's a more comfortable uniform. It's more breathable. It's lighter weight. And I think that we've listened to sailors what they want. But we're also moving towards greater uniformity. And so we're reducing the number of camouflage patterns that we wear from three to two. And so I think that's a good change. Great. Awesome. Well, anything else that you would like to add? Well, I just think this is an exciting change for the Navy. And we've already been receiving a lot of positive feedback. Awesome. Great. Well, ma'am, thank you for being here and answering all the questions. Absolutely. My pleasure. Thanks. And thank you all for watching.
