Service Dress Khakis Finally Arriving!

(MCPON Joe Campa Jr. sporting the Service Dress Khakis for CPOs.)

NAVADMIN 020/10 announced the approval for final development of Service Dress Khakis, or SDKs. The NAVADMIN states that the uniform will be an optional wear item for E7 through O10 in place of Summer White and Service Khakis during the summer, or for situations where wearing a tie is appropriate.

Because the uniform is an optional uniform, there will be no uniform allowance for it. So Chiefs and Officers will have to pay out of pocket to cover the cost.  According to the message, SDKs are expected to be available for purchase by FY 2012.
