Description

A short-sleeved tan shirt was added in 1966 and, beginning in 1972, women could wear a white shirt and black collar tab with the green service uniform.46 The Navy women's handbag was adopted as a standard item of issue for military women in 1965, but its small size made it unacceptable to Army women and in 1969 the Army women's handbag was reinstated as a substitute item.47 Beginning in 1960, women wore seamless hose with their uniforms when not in military formations such as reveille and retreat.48 In 1962, gold color metal buttons and hat insignia replaced the antiqued gold insignia on both the green service uniform, the green cord, and the beige uniforms
