The first female recruits at Recruit Training Command were issued their new enlisted white hats, or Dixie cups, as part of the Navy’s efforts for uniformity in service members’ uniform, April 4.

“…I feel that females have been performing to the standard equal to their male counterparts, and right now, with these new covers, we look more as a team.”
