Woody,
Both the CWU 36P and CWU 45P, issued since the late 70's early 80's are constructed of ARIMNID fibers. AKA Nomex. A quick look at the label will tell you. Give me a day or so and I'll dig up the Pub #. Nylon is a no go and has been. I know for a fact that all flight jackets issued in the last 15 years have been made of Arimid fibers. (Other than Leather) I think what you will find is some of the old nylon jackets get by as few people can see the difference. How old is yours? I was on a boat a few weeks ago, I saw no nylon.

(Other than Leather) Thanks for prompting some light Googling and self-edcucation. I stand corrected, sir: I looked at the label. Jacket, Flyer's, Men's Summer Type CWU-36/P MIL-J-83382C DLA100-93-C-0323 100% Aromatic polyamide Carter Industries, INC. According to http://www.junantai.com/english/e14zrgzf.htm That's Nomex (brand name) or "meta-position aromatic polymide." Personally, I prefer the leather one. My winter jacket has my legacy Intruder patches (up to O-3 or so). My summer is patchless (so far)... All patches in the pockets. My leather is warmest. I think what you will find is some of the old nylon jackets get by as few people can see the difference. How old is yours? I was on a boat a few weeks ago, I saw no nylon. You must not hang out on the right boats. Even the admiral (a shoe) wore one on USS THEODORE ROOSEVELT (CVN-71). We reservists certainly wore ours... But then we wore flight suits in port too. During my time with CVW-9, the CAG's and DCAG's wore them festooned with patches from all the CVW squadrons... So did the ship's CO. --Woody |

Woody,
I don't pay that much attention to the jackets to really notice but NATOPS went to the NOMEX in about 86-87 exclusively. I am sure a lot of the OFs are grandfathered in but if some anal blackshoe wanted to make a point about it, he would have some grounds. All issued jackets since, Winter and summer, are "nomex". I think it's in NAVAIR 00-35QH-2 Jake "Doug "Woody" and Erin Beal" wrote in message ...

I think it's in NAVAIR 00-35QH-2 Impressive. Quoting scripture. Not sure what an OF is. Jake I got my winter in 92-93 (old one stolen out of our squadron ladderwell on a return from a XC. I was kinda torqued. Never found out who, but those patches start to add up after a while. My summer one in 94-95. Based on your comments and my re-education, I'm sure they're "nomex" or Nomex. --Woody |
