Navy Issues Uniform Guidelines

Week of July 21, 2008

The Navy's new Physical Training uniform (PTU), now available in Navy Exchanges, is required for command and unit physical training, and the semi-annual physical fitness assessment (PFA) beginning Oct.1, 2008. The PTU may also be worn on and off base for fitness or leisure, unless determined otherwise by regional coordinators or commanding officers. During command exercise in port, the PTU shirt must be tucked into the shorts. During individual PT, or on liberty, shirts may be worn in or out of shorts. At sea, the wearing of the PTU will be at the discretion of the commanding officer. The PTU cannot be worn while in a duty status or when conducting official business on base.
