Navy Launches Low Bandwidth Website
The Navy Exchange Service Command's (NEXCOM) Uniform Support Center has launched a low bandwidth Website in the summer for uniform purchases. The new website should download for viewing much quicker for dial-up or low-speed Internet connections, as may be the case aboard ships and overseas stations. To access the low bandwidth Website for uniform purchases, visit http://www.navy-nex.com/ and click the "Order Uniforms Online" tab. This leads to a screen showing two options: one for high speed and the other for low speed Internet connections. For plain text, choose the latter. Once the authorized sponsor's information is entered, the low bandwidth website will appear.
