No. KP mids wear khaki all four years with whites, chokers, and sdbs depending on the season. The KP uniform is most similar to the actual navy uniforms.

No "CPO's" during fall/winter?

Thats disappointing that we don't get NWUs. I believe SUNY Maritime has them; I wonder why we don't.

My son had NWU's for his junior year while on a carrier and Army airborne school.

Because you are attending the US Merchant Marine Academy and not the US Naval Academy

Thanks for pointing that out, I'm so silly sometimes I forget where I go to school! I guess we shouldn't wear khakis or whites either because those are navy uniforms?? Anyways, I have seen SUNY Maritime wear NWU's and I think it would be really neat if we had them.

There is a difference between a "Naval style" uniform and an official Navy uniform. The NWU is an official navy uniform. I will lay money that SUNY does not wear NWUs, they simply match black trousers with khaki shirts.

My bad, I meant it would be nice to have that style then. What I was thinking was official must just be that style.

I believe the difference would be that SUNY Maritime has an NROTC unit. NROTC midshipmen wear Navy uniforms with NROTC insignia. I don't know much about SUNY Maritime, but if students there are wearing Navy uniforms, they would have to be NROTC midshipmen.
