Elysia has her PRT on Tuesday, so this weekend we visited the NEX to get her the new, mandatory, uniform. There have been a lot of complaints about it — everything from the color to the type of fabric.
I guess having grown up around Cal Berkeley, I am used to the bright blue and gold. But most complaints are that they tried to do a wicking material on the cheap and created a shirt that gets heavy when wet and becomes see-through. A PT work-out becomes a wet t-shirt contest. Nice.
The shorts also have a “modesty liner” that apparently serves to give wedgies. These are the lesser-known sacrifices our troops make. They are apparently going to correct both problems in the next few months.
Elysia, who often scores Good-Medium or Excellent-Low on the fitness test, laments that there is not simply a category of Good Enough.

I’m happy to report that I passed yet another iteration of the Navy PRT, with a score of “Good-High.” Neither my best nor my worst — simply good enough.
