#1 NOW HEAR THIS! NOW HEAR THIS!

Para 3,A. IN-PORT AND WHEN PERFORMING COMMAND DIRECTED "GROUP/UNIT" PHYSICAL TRAINING ACTIVITIES, SEMI-ANNUAL PFA (TO INCLUDE BODY
COMPOSITION ASSESSMENT (BCA) AND PHYSICAL READINESS TEST (PRT)), THE PTU SHIRT WILL BE TUCKED INTO THE SHORTS. SHORTS WILL BE WORN FULLY ON THE WAIST. THE LENGTH OF THE SHORTS WILL NOT EXTEND BELOW THE TOP OF
THE KNEE. RUNNING SHOES WILL BE COMFORTABLE AND SUPPORT THE PLANNED EXERCISE. ATHLETIC SOCKS MUST BE WORN AND SHALL NOT EXTEND ABOVE MID-
CALF. LOW CUT SOCKS ARE PERMITTED. PREGNANT SAILORS WILL WEAR THE SHIRT OUT AND WILL DISCONTINUE WEARING THE PTU WHEN IT BECOMES TOO TIGHT. FEMALE SAILORS WILL WEAR A SPORT OR DRESS BRASSIERE WHEN WEARING THE PTU. ADDITIONAL UNDERGARMENTS ARE AUTHORIZED FOR ALL HANDS.


IMHO, "Transfers and Goodwill visits"... are the least of their worries.

#3 "operate under reduced engine capacity, or on one propeller if it's a two-propeller ship"

This is pitiful. Is the USA Navy becoming a third world country navy?

The slow death by rot of the USA as a global superpower starts with the loss of a truly global Navy. Ask Britain.

Of course, some of us see this as a feature instead of a bug. Just depends on your perspective.
