For the first time in the service’s history, an official physical training uniform has been approved. Chief of Naval Operations Adm. Mike Mullen gave the green light to the new ensemble Aug. 15 after two weeks of deliberation. Officials from Task Force Uniform presented their recommendations to the CNO on July 31.
The move brings the Navy in line with the other military services, all of which have such a uniform for fitness tests and command physical training.
“The goal of this effort was to provide the sailors in the fleet with workout gear that was suitable for unit PT,” said Vice Adm. John C. Harvey, the Navy’s chief of personnel and head of the uniform board. “What we are going to provide is high-end, high-quality gear that is suitable for the widest variety of people and workout styles.”
