Man, that's been the trademark of U.S. Navy sailors for a LONG time!

Looking now at a photo of my uncle in the Navy in WW2...black uniform and white gob hat. I just can't picture a U.S. sailor without that hat!

How would you sailors feel about that hat becoming history?

I don't think the ole dog dish, will blend well with the cammies. Keep the ball cap for them, no stupid rag like the army now wears!
But it should and must be kept with the cracker jack uniforms!
