It is truly SEXIST that a ONLY female sailors can carry purses! Why not the men, or those who self-identfy as something other than 'man' or 'woman'? The USN is gonna be just like the Royal Nay Vee

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.

Never mind mission readiness. It is like a ‘gay’ person to be more concerned with appearances than actual substance.
Now, those are some fine recruits.
They’ll demand that the male sailors also carry purses.
And live in a village, with cowboys, bikers, electricians, Indians and motorcycle cops.
Incredible. Oh well, becoming aware of the foot and back discomfort wearing high heels brings should make the guys more sympathetic to what women go through to have great looking legs. Or maybe not.
Hey! As an old swabbie I find that kind of kinky. I’d hit her like a cheap WalMart piñata.

When it came to taking a leak, 13-button blues were never very functional. A tailored set was good looking, though.
As a teenager I was privileged to spend a lot of time around WW II vets.
Their stories were rarely G-rated. Now I can see why.
"We will force round pegs into square holes because we are Socialist idiots, and that is what we do."
"Reality? Ha! We laugh at reality! "

Worked pretty good in in Olongapo, Tijuana, and Yokosuka brothels though, didn’t have to take your pants off.

I hear ya. As a young lad, I heard the stories from relatives who fought in WWII and Korea; the stories became more “interesting” as I grew older.
Sheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees! Does this crap ever stop and why does a single American even participate in such stupid idiotic and mindless culture rot in the first place? I would be embarrassed to serve in the US armed forces today, even more so now because the US navy wants its sailors’ to dress like little girls!
When purses are outlawed (in the Navy). only outlaws will have purses!
I would go further. I would court martial anyone in the top of the chain of command that acquiesced to this crap. Putting political correctness ahead of military capability is a dereliction of duty.
Make examples of them to put some steel in the next generation's resistance to future efforts at this crap.
“Female sailors will also be allowed to carry bigger purses”
That is NOT gender neutral! The men must also be allowed to carry bigger purses!!!
