 Welcome to All Hands Update, I'm Petty Officer Stuart Phillips. They're back, and it's official. Commands can allow sailors to wear their command ball caps with Navy working uniforms or NWUs. In a just-release nav admin, CNO and SECNAV revise the rules for wearing command ball caps based on feedback from the fleet. 8-point covers will remain the basic uniform cover for the NWUs type 1, 2, and 3 and will be mandatory for uniform inspections and special occasions. When utilities were replaced with NWUs, that uniform came with a matching 8-point cover. Command ball caps used to be a mainstay with utility uniforms. They identified the ship of sailor belonged to and were also a source of pride. Under the previous policy, you could only wear the ball caps with physical training attire, coveralls, and flight suits.
