Navy first to get
maternity uniform
The Navy has become the first service
to authorize for wear a new uniform de-
signed for pregnant service women.
Navy women can begin wearing the new
maternity uniform on Jan. 1, 1978. The
uniform will be optional for pregnant
Navy women when their regular uniforms
no longer fit.
Bureau of Naval Personnel Notice 1020
of Nov. 14, 1977 sets forth the policy
guidance on the wearing of the maternity
uniform and describes the uniform comr
binations in which it may be worn.
The uniforms were developed in
response to Navy women's desires to be
able to maintain a more professional ap-
pearance during pregnancy while perform-
ing their military duties. Presently,
pregnant Navy women wear civilian
clothes when conventional uniforms no
longer fit.
The Navy's design was based on cur-
rent maternity fashions and includes
four interchangeable items to provide
service dress blue, winter blue, winter
working blue and summer blue uniforms.,
These maternity uniforms are of the same
general style as the recently approved
new uniforms for Navy women. The four
pieces to the maternity uniform include
a long or short sleeved white shirt,
dark blue skirt, slacks and overblouse.
By making various combinations, women
may form appropriate uniforms for all
seasons. Service dress blue would
consist of a shirt and tie, overblouse
and ribbons. Winter blue; overblouse
with tie and ribbons. Winter working
blue is the overblouse with neither tie
nor ribbons and summer blue is just the
white shirt without the tie and with
ribbons. Either slacks or skirt may be
worn with any of the uniform combina-
tions.
Since the uniforms are patterned
after proven commercial garments, the
Navy saved considerable design costs and
wear testing expenses. Because no
further testing is necessary, the
uniforms should be available for
purchase in Navy exchanges or through
special order outlets early in 1978. The
anticipated cost of the entire four-
piece outfit is under $40.
TOURS &
TRAVEL
By Nancy Walker
Airline reservations may be made with
within the states only in conjunction wi
with a commercial fliglt from Iceland.
For those flying on the Cl18 or on the
rotator, no reservations may be made for
travel within the states.
The Tour Office may sell "open tick-
ets" to those Military Airlift Command
flight passengers wishing to take ad-
vantage of not having to pay United
States tax. An "open ticket" does not
reserve a seat on a certain flight.
However, when you check in with the
airlines at the terminal in Norfolk,
Philadelphia, etc., you will be booked
on the first available flight to your
final destination.
A friend or relative in the states
may reserve a place on a flight for you.
You may use your "open ticket" for the
flight by presenting it when you check
in at the reservations desk at the
terminal.
Military fare
Active military personnel and their
dependents are eligible to use Loftlei-
dir's military discounts for travel to
the states.
Military rates are only available
for travel between Iceland and the U.S.
and are only applicable when Iceland is
your point of origin. For example, ac-
tive military personnel or dependents
would be charged regular fare on a one
way trip from New York to Keflavik,
whereas, they would be charged military
fare on a one way trip from Keflavik to
New York.
Children's fares
Children under age two will pay 10
per cent of the applicable adult fare
on Loftleidir flights. Children two
to 11 years will pay 50 per cent of
normal fare. Children 12 years or
older will be charged full fare.
Note: Airline tickets for reserved
flights should be picked up a week to
10 days before departure. "Open tick-
ets" may be purchased at any time; no
waiting period is necessary.
