US Navy runs out of pants

From military.com:

The Navy is dealing with what could be called a sartorial crisis: The sea service has run out of pants. And it may not get more for months.

Specifically, service officials confirmed Friday that pants for the Navy Working Uniform, or NWU, the go-to uniform for most sailors, are out of stock at Navy Exchanges.

The Navy Working Uniform is one of the few uniforms that sailors are allowed to not only perform work in but also wear pretty much anywhere off base -- including to places such as restaurants and stores. As a result of this multi-purpose role, individual NWU components including pants and blouses are replaced more frequently because, unlike a purely working uniform such as coveralls, they cannot have large stains, rips or damage.

The issue appears to be coming from the Defense Logistics Agency, which manages acquiring and providing all the military branches with the myriad supplies and goods that they require.

Lt. Meagan Morrison, a spokeswoman for the Navy's personnel boss, told Military.com that the command has been getting word out to leaders in the fleet that, while the shortage is ongoing, sailors have other working uniforms -- such as coveralls or its replacement, the "2POC" uniform -- that they can be asked to wear.

The Navy is not the only service to experience shortages of key uniforms.

In April, the Marine Corps said that it was finally able to get more of its iconic woodland camouflage uniforms in stock for Marines after nearly two years of shortages.

When I was in the Exchange clothing and sales were always empty. I always went 3rd party and they were cheaper and within regulation. This isn’t something new, been happening since Bush Jr when I was in.

It is good to know that sailors can source them somewhere else.

The attached link is for the trousers at the Navy Exchange.

This is what happens when you replace meritocracy and accountability with DEI hires and DEI training. Little things like clothes fall through the cracks. Big things also get f*cked up. Pretty soon our military will be dressed like loucfirr, God forbid.

^
My guess is that If one were to say just "made in the USA" then some nationalist doofus would come along and dispute that, claiming that they are also made in Puerto Rico.
Followed by "Bidenomics!!!" or "Communist"

No surprises here, we all know how this goes, because y'all have been doing it for years.
