WASHINGTON, D.C. (July 15, 2024) – Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) has implemented a relaxed clothing policy for military patrons at all of the Navy’s 80 shore galleys.
Previously, installation commanding officers set their own dress policies for the galleys located on their bases. These inconsistent polices sometimes led to confusion and overly restrictive requirements for attire at some locations may have discouraged Sailors from utilizing galleys on their base.
“We want to ensure those eating at our galleys enjoy a comfortable dining experience and that starts with their clothing,” said Leslie Gould, Director of Fleet & Family Readiness. “We know that our Sailors have busy lives and may be fitting their meals into a hectic schedule. If they’re on their way to the gym or out running errands, we don’t want restrictive clothing policies to discourage them from dining at our galleys.”
The new Policy for Shore Galley Attire permits most civilian clothes that are clean, in good condition, do not contain offensive language or pictures and aren’t overly revealing. This includes sandals, board shorts and clean physical training clothing.
Those in military uniform must comply with appropriate uniform guidance. Navy schoolhouse students or recruits may be subject to additional dress code requirements without waiver to the new policy.
