Not your grandfather's jersey: Navy testing new fire-resistant clothingPublic release date: 5-Mar-2013 [ | E-mail | Share ]

ARLINGTON, Va.The Office of Naval Research (ONR) is answering a Sailor's request for delivery of new flight deck clothing that could significantly boost personnel safety on aircraft carriers across the Navy.
Sponsored by both ONR's TechSolutions rapid-response program and Naval Air Systems Command, new flame-resistant jerseys and trousers could be worn by Navy flight deck crews across the fleet as early as 2014. The evaluation of the prototypes began in December on USS Stennis (CVN 74); prototypes will also be tested on USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) and a third carrier yet to be selected.
The obligation to ably equip Sailors is a guiding principle in the Chief of Naval Operations' Sailing Directions.
"The safety of our Sailors and Marines is Job One," said Master Chief Charles Ziervogel, who heads the ONR TechSolutions program. "We must always be looking for ways to evolve and improve our Sailors' equipment and gear."
The rapid response and delivery program accepts recommendations and suggestions from Navy and Marine Corps personnel on ways to improve mission effectiveness by applying new and improved technology capabilities. Typical turn-around time for a working prototype is approximately 12-18 months.
The quick-drying, flame-resistant uniform is designed as an upgrade to today's flight deck clothing, and is more comfortable for personnel.
"It's like putting on your grandfather's jersey and then putting on Under Armourthere's no comparison," said Force Master Chief Gary McClure at Naval Air Forces Atlantic, the Sailor who submitted the request for an updated flight deck uniform. "The positive feedback has been overwhelming."
The upgraded apparel is made of moisture-wicking, fire-resistant fabric and intended to replace the all-cotton flight deck jerseys issued to personnel today. Prototype jerseys in five different fabrics are being evaluated by Sailors on deployment through July of this year.
The new trousers are also manufactured with fire-resistant capabilities built into the fabric. Current flight deck trousers have to be treated with fire-retardants before they are issued, making trousers heavy and uncomfortable, and the treatments wear off as they are laundered.
The new program requirements call for the enhanced garments to last not less than one sea deployment under daily flight deck wear over six monthswith the objective being 12 months durability, to include a sea cruise and work-up period.
"The longer durability could provide a real potential for cost savings," said Ziervogel. "Feedback from Sailors is that current flight deck uniforms need to be replaced several times during each cruise."
At the end of the evaluation period, all the fabrics deemed suitable will be forwarded to the Defense Logistics Agency for possible procurement.

JERUSALEM (AP) ? Israel is on a locust alert as swarms of the destructive bugs descend on neighboring Egypt ahead of the Passover holiday.
Israel's Agriculture Ministry set up an emergency hotline Monday and is asking Israelis to be vigilant in reporting locust sightings to prevent an outbreak.
Locusts have a devastating effect on agriculture by quickly stripping crops.
Swarms of locusts have descended on Egypt, raising fears they could spread to Israel.
The locust alert comes ahead of the Passover festival, which recounts the biblical story of the Jewish exodus from Egypt. According to the Bible, a plague of locusts was one of 10 plagues God imposed on Egyptians for enslaving and abusing ancient Hebrews.

TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) ? The Los Angeles Angels renewed the contract of AL Rookie of the Year Mike Trout for $510,000, prompting an angry response from the outfielder's agent.
Craig Landis said his client was disappointed with the decision announced Saturday. The salary is $20,000 above the major league minimum.
"During the process, on behalf of Mike, I asked only that the Angels compensate Mike fairly for his historic 2012 season, given his service time," Landis said in a statement. "In my opinion, this contract falls well short of a 'fair' contract and I have voiced this to the Angels throughout the process. Nonetheless, the renewal of Mike's contract will put an end (to) this discussion."
Trout has 1 year, 70 days of major league service and is likely to be eligible for arbitration after the 2014 season and for free agency after the 2017 World Series. Teams can renew the contracts of unsigned players on their 40-man rosters from March 2-11
"Mike, himself, does not wish to comment on this matter," Landis said. "As when he learned he would not be the team's primary center fielder for the upcoming season, Mike will put the disappointment behind him and focus on helping the Angels reach their goal of winning the 2013 World Series."
Speedy Peter Bourjos is set to be the Angels' primary center fielder, flanked by Trout in left and 2010 AL MVP Josh Hamilton in right.
Trout had a $482,500 salary last year, when he finished second to Detroit's Miguel Cabrera in AL MVP voting. Trout hit .326 with 30 homers and 83 RBIs, and led the majors with 129 runs and 49 steals.
He also earned a $10,000 bonus for winning Rookie of the Year.
Los Angeles also agreed to one-year deals with 21 players, including Bourjos and Mark Trumbo.
