Are the Certified Navy Twill (CNT) khaki uniforms being phased out?
No. OCCFM has contacted numerous official, high-level Navy sources and they have assured us that the CNT khaki is not phasing out. The only khaki uniform material being phased out, as noted above, is the true working khaki material (poly/cotton). The Navy Exchange (NEX) and other governmental supply sources have indicated there is neither shortage of supply nor any cutbacks to this uniform. This uniform is widely used in the Navy in land-based commands or duty stations. It is noted that there are some supply issues with some non-governmental private commercial vendors, but that is a non-governmental issue. Still, the most official and cost effective method of purchasing uniforms and components is through the NEX or Army Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES).
