It gets pretty boring on patrol on a warship during the Vietnam Wars, and things were no different on the USS LaRue. But the first Sunday of each month was a bit special, as each of teh drafted crewmen had to "drag up" for the benefit of the officers.
Outfits and wigs were issued by the ship's Quartermaster, and the draftees had to spend the day "'en femme". Cameras were banned, due to the possible negative effects upon mainstream America, but sometimes a photograph was surreptitiously taken, and this is one of the few. The crewman photographer waited until no-one was looking his way, to save the blushes of his fellow ladies.
(Of course, this could all be lies...but you can decide.)

Ha ! Very funny wise-guy. But you're wrong. It was only the submarine service who indulged in regular cross-dressing. It gets lonely down below.
Hehehe.... I like it, but any chance of so pictures of kids and retro fashions ?
