Flotilla 15-10 Uniform Information
Uniform Procurement Guide
The newly revised Uniform Procurement Guide will help the new member in not only purchasing the correct uniform components, but how to wear the uniform properly. It is a privilege to be able to wear the Uniform of the United States Coast Guard. Do it proudly, and correctly.
Where To Buy - Uniform Information
The United States Coast Guard Human Resource Directorate is
the first stop in obtaining your uniform. At this site you will find
PDF versions of the Uniform Procurement Guide and other useful
information for both the veteran and new member.
The folks at the UDC are most helpful with questions so feel free
to give them a call if in doubt, or confer with one of your flotilla
officers.
What to buy first?
A new member is faced with several
choices of a uniform when they start. Although you will need both the
Tropical Long uniform as well the Operational Dress Uniform (ODU), the
first uniform should be the Tropical Long. In 15-04 it will take a
while to become operational status and therefore the uniform that we
will be wearing most is the Tropical Long.
Any meetings in public, as well as interaction in classes, require the Tropical Long uniform.
If you have questions or need clarification please check with your Flotilla Commander or Vice Commander.
ODU Sleeves
Effective Immediately while wearing the ODU the following will be
observed to maintain consistency with the active duty CG in 1SR:
November 1 - March 15: Sleeves will be down.
March 15 - November 1: Sleeves will be rolled up.
