298.0. "Today's enlisted uniform" by SALEM::TIMMONS () Tue Mar 18 1997 10:34

    Just had a coversation with a few folks, and the topic turned to
    today's enlisted men's uniform.
    
    What is the current uniform?  Jumper and dixie-cup, or
    shirt/tie/jacket?
    
    Thanks,
    
    Lee

	FWIW, when I left naval service in 1986 the enlisted uniform consisted of jumpers and dixie cups and the assorted accessories that acompany it. Jim
298.2	It seems to vary by duty station, though	NUBOAT::HEBERT	Captain Bligh	`Wed Mar 19 1997 14:55`	4
	Enlisted (E1-E6) crew members of the USS BOSTON SSN703 (and her sister ships in Groton) wear jumpers and dixie cups. Art

	Okay, let me qualify my statement. E1-E6, when I left in 1986, were wearing the jumpers, dress blues and whites with blue neckerchief, short sleeve white shirts for summer with zip-up trousers, all with the dixie cup. E7-E9 wore the khaki working uniforms and billed cap. Dress uniforms were the dress blues for all occasions and the whites for summer. Black shoes all around except for E7-E9 summer whites, then they wore white shoes. Jim STG1

	Thanks, guys. I'm glad to see that the tradition lives on. I'd hate to have a picture at home with me in a damn white shirt and tie. Lee
