NWU - don't get them dirty!

Just received a note from a USNR friend of the blog.

T.I.N.S.

He is about to head out for a few months at sea for something like ADSW. Paraphrased, his Reserve unit CO told him - I kid you not -

"Don't get your NWU dirty while at sea. They need to be clean to wear for your duty days when you get back."

It was only a matter of time. Don't get a uniform dirty that was intentionally designed to get dirty.

Sailors belong on ships; ships belong at sea? Don't be silly.
