Uniformity.

It's the little things that count. That's why the Navy is leaving no bureaucratic stone unturned in its effort to approve new uniforms for sailors. Here's how a Navy press release yesterday described the ongoing process: "As sailors around the fleet continue to assess the new Navy Working and Service Uniform concepts, a panel of petty officers, chiefs and officers began discussing the second phase of Task Force Uniform (TFU) during a uniform board scheduled April 12-15. As with phase one, this 28-sailor panel representing sailors and commands around the globe is being guided by the TFU charter outlined by the Chief of Naval Operations (CNO), the CNOs's 2004 Guidance to the Fleet, as well as their experience with the proposed changes seen to date."
