USCG Untucked Operational Dress Uniform (ODU)
Beginning in early Fall 2008, the Coast Guard Uniform Distribution Center (UDC) will have the new Untucked ODU in a full range of stock sizes, along with the availability of special sizes for Coast Guard members.
The Untucked ODU will reamen optional to the current ODU until further notice via an ALCOAST. The untucked uniform wll be issued to recruits at Cape May as a sea bag item. The ODU will remain an optional item for other Coast Guard personnel until 2012. All personnel will continue to receive CMA to purchase ODUs at the tucked in rate until 2012.
The standard belt for the ODU (untucked and tucked versions) is the Basic Riggers Belt.
The ODU will remain untucked unless operating in a hazardous environment. Only COs or PMs may authorize tucking in the uniform.
Coast Guardmen should refer to the UDC link about the USCG Untucked Operational Dress Uniform (ODU) for detailed information
