Under orders from Secretary Ray Mabus, the Navy has announced changes that will eventually make uniforms and covers more gender-neutral.
And so, the unisex "Dixie Cup," or enlisted white hat, will come into being and be available for wear by E-6s and below next April. Female sailors will also be allowed to carry bigger purses, so long as they match their shoes.
"Having service members don the same headgear is symbolic of a Navy that is gender-blind," said Lt. Cmdr. Nate Christensen, a Navy spokesman.
"We have been working hard to design covers and uniforms that improve uniformity across the force as well as improve the function and fit of sailors' uniforms" according to Mabus' plan for uniform and cover redesign, Christensen said.

Good point, afterall they must also accomodate the transgendered.
Next they’ll have the male sailors in skirts and blouses and the soldiers in house dresses.
At the time of the 2007 repeal of Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, now strengthed by the recent SCOTUS decision on gay marriage, the Pentagon prepared a list of new or reinterpreted nomenclature and practices familiar to many older veterans. The gay EM who supplied Wikileaks sent us a copy just before his arrest. Some of the more interesting items are below.
(These are now ALL in full implementation by the Obama maladministration)
All drill and march commands ending in “March” will now end in either “MINCE” or “SWISH,” at the option of the individual issuing the command;
The command “Dress right, dress” will be replaced with “Dress – or that lovely strapless evening gown – right, dress”
Due to the distinct possibility that it may be misinterpreted, the command “To the Rear March” will be replaced with “OK, Fellas, Turn Around;”
Marching cadences employing “Jodie” will now replace that archaic appellation with the more metro-sexually appropriate “Brucie:”
The humorous but now out-dated phrase “Drop your c**ks and grab your socks” is to be replaced with “Drop your c**ks and grab the fella’s over there;”
A “Junk on the bunk” inspection will now allow a soldier’s “junk” to actually be displayed on his bunk;
If it will not interfere with “his” duties, a “Latrine Queen” may wear a pair of high heel pumps if they are OD in color;
In deference to the transgenders with usm, the rank of “Private” will be replaced with “Newby.”
“Short Arms Inspections” are no longer allowed unless at least 10” in length.
For those still smoking, as it could lead to serious unit cohesion break-down, the phrase “Field strip that butt” will no longer be used.
As we dig deeper into the documents we were provided, we will add other changes.
PS: A bonus INVESTMENT TIP: Buy shares in firms that manufacture SOAP-ON-A-ROPE! There is certain to be a run on them at BXs and PXs everywhere.
AND LAST, BUT NOT LEAST, THE INFORMAL MOTTO FOR THE SOON TO BE FORMED ALL GAY COUPLES UNITS WILL BE
“NEVER LEAVE YOUR BUDDY’S BEHIND!”
I would hope that the new president in early 2017 (Cruz or Trump) commits to reversing as much of BHO’s legacy as possible. If not, then we will be lost as a nation.
Wouldn’t be surprised. After all, the Army is already training soldiers to walk high heels.
Doubtless, the Russians and Chinese are shaking in their boots over this. (Or rolling over in laughter).
"That's a high price to pay for being stylish" was his closing line in that conversation as I recall.
You wuld hope so, but maybe not. Carson is in favor of having women in combat units, and Trump says he would be if the generals were. And today’s generals are a rather PC lot.
Kerry looks like a giant, mutant sperm
What shirts and skirts? JEEZE!
Oh, and did you know he is a Viet-nam veteran?
I’m surprised they’re still going to wear dress blues or whites. Seems everything else has been shit-canned.
I was wondering about girdles for guys?
Do they still make girdles?
