Changes to Navy uniforms were announced Wednesday in a fleet-wide message from the chief of naval operations, Adm. Gary Roughead.

What’s in: Junior sailors (E-6 and below) who are pregnant can wear the senior enlisted and officer khaki maternity blouse with the winter blue maternity slacks or skirt. A new maternity top is in the works for both junior and senior servicemembers, expected to be ready next year.

What’s out: Sailors are no longer authorized to wear the Air Force Space badge. The designation has been reclassified by the Air Force as a warfare device, which individuals must qualify for in order to wear on the uniform. Navy officials say the ability to qualify for the designation isn’t available to Navy personnel.

What’s on the way: New "designer" physical training uniforms. The Navy is wear-testing two PT uniforms and will decide which will make the cut as mandatory uniform items by 2011.

Meanwhile, a new optional PT uniform consisting of shirt and shorts is expected to be in uniform shops this winter. Navy officials have not said who will manufacture the new PT uniform, only saying it will be made by a brand name company.
