The Navy Runs Out of Pants for Its Working Uniform – Won't Get More Until October

The Navy is dealing with what could be called a sartorial crisis: The sea service has run out of pants. And it may not get more for months.

Specifically, service officials confirmed Friday that pants for the Navy Working Uniform, or NWU, the go-to uniform for most sailors, are out of stock at Navy Exchanges.
 
Courtney Williams, a spokeswoman for the Navy's Exchange Service Command, told Military.com that it is "experiencing severe shortages of NWU trousers" both in physical stores and online.
 

Online out-of-stock notifications, which told sailors that the pants were "not available for purchase in any size" first made it to social media on Thursday.
 
Williams said that current pants stock levels are around 13% worldwide, and the exchange is focused on providing what inventory it has to new recruits at Recruit Training Command in Illinois, the Naval Academy Preparatory School in Rhode Island, and the officer training schools.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

Somehow this seems perfectly predictable with the "modern" military. :whistle:

I knew a female midshipman at the academy whose butt got so big that she literally stole pants belonging to other women.  She got caught and charged with an honor offense.

Didn't get the boot, though.  Of course.
