Subj: Info on the new ODU -010/007

1.  "For years Coast Guard members have requested that the ODU be enhanced
by un-tucking the coat. The dilemma was that the current ODU coat was
designed to be tucked in. Another significant concern was the large amount
of current ODU inventory on hand and how to deplete it if a new uniform
(un-tucked version) came on line. Last summer, Admiral Allen and MCPOCG
Bowen began conversations with the Uniform Program to move to an un-tucked
version of the ODU." - ODU Fact Sheet

2.  The new ODU is currently on schedule, with availability at the UDC on or
about 31 March 2008.
