Naval officers obtain their bridge coats in various ways, depending on their route to a commission. Those from the Naval Academy obtain them while at the Academy. Those going through ROTC will have a salesman come for a visit shortly before graduation. It would be the same for OCS, if the Navy has an OCS program. As the officer needs a replacement coat, and for CPOs, when they make Chief, there is probably a way to obtain one through the base exchange. The BX may have them in stock or they may be special order items. We have some Navy officers, and at least one Chief, here on the board; maybe one will chip in with a definitive answer. My experience is strictly Army.
Edit Note: I logged in to Army/Air Force Exchange to see if I could access Navy Uniforms. I could not. Plenty of Army/Air Force uniforms, but not much on the Navy/Marine Corps side of the Army/AF exchange. Might be another way to do it, but doubt my credentials will work on the Navy/Marine Corps exchange.
