The Navy unveiled a pilot program to issue maternity uniforms to expecting sailors.
Enlisted sailors will receive maternity uniforms at no cost beginning January 2, 2022.
“Issued maternity uniforms may be worn throughout the period of required wear up to 12 months after receipt,” the NAVADMIN said. “Participant selection will occur on a first-come, first-served basis. Uniforms will be provided to participants fully hemmed and with all required sewn-on accoutrements attached.”
The Military Times reported:
The Navy is launching a maternity uniform pilot program in 2022 for expecting sailors, providing them with maternity uniforms at no cost.
The wear test for pregnant volunteers, from Jan. 2, 2022, to Sept. 30, 2026, will allow enlisted sailors and officers in the active component and Navy Reserve to receive “a full array of authorized Navy maternity uniforms,” according to a new naval administrative message. These uniforms will be issued to sailors free of charge and then returned to the service.
Good common sense there…
Yet we live in a world now that someone will complain.
Should be off duty on maternity leave the whole 9 months with pay !!!!!
Crunch the numbers on that idea, Sweetpea, then think about
how much the policy would be abused.
Better than giving Millions $$$$$ to Illegals Like Biden !!!!! Give it to Americans !!!!
It’s the navy, every tom dick and harry would be on 9 month leave
Well maybe there are too many females in the Navy then !!!
