An Unofficial Coast Guard Blog: The Wooly-Pully & ODU are No More… Thank You!

    Forgive an old timer his lack of uniform knowledge. Is the ODU the "garage mechanic" work uniform? Also, how long have cardigans been a uniform item?

    I have to admit, I was really hoping that they allowed the 8 point cover. I love the ball cap, but the 8 point makes the uniform look squared away. Well, at least the current ODU's. I don't think anything can help the "un-tucked" maternity ODU's.

    John, the "garage mechanic" work uniform you're thinking of is most likely the old "working blues" which I personnally liked being able to climb around in the engine room in, the ODU is the Operational Dress Uniform, which is our blue version of the other services BDUs.


    On another note, I just wish they would ban the wooly pully altogether, I also wish they'd make the "M" guys wear uniforms but like ya said, we can't all get our wishes! :)
