That wasn’t a gay flag.

Those in red shirts are ordinance specialists, green for another duty, white shirts are shooters I think…brown shirts are another group…

I hope i am wrong and you are all correct- it sure as hell looked like they were mimicking the fag flag.

I have never seen anything like that before when they would show sailors on the deck of a US carrier.

When I was in, I wore Red which was for the fire party on the flight deck. I sat there with a hose for hours waiting to put out a crash that thankfully never happened. I think purple guys were for refueling. Yellow were like the guys that directed the landings (we had a helo deck). I can’t remember Brown. They might have been the flight crews. We called them “airdales”.

But, I suppose making snap judgements about our sailors might be fun for some. Thanks for putting it into proper context.
