One “hearty warrior” trying to figure out which page goes after which, the other playing with her cell phone ...

Not enough men join the Navy, so more ‘women’ are recruited. Fire fighting bodies, or in this case de-watering bodies ...

Why the different badges on their jackets and what do they mean?

The gal on the left’s badge denotes that she is qualified as a Surface Warfare Officer. It also has her name and rank on it. The one on the right’s badge is the official seal of the USS Fitzgerald. Sailors will often wear the seal of their ship on ball caps, and work jackets. It is not a uniform requirement, but it allowed.
