The main difference is that the fused caps are stiffer, retain their shape better and present a sharper military appearance. The first shipments have already been received at many Navy Exchanges. Production capacity will reach 50,000 caps per month by the end of December. Any individual who purchased an unfused cap can exchange it for the stiffer fused cap at no charge as supplies become available. Our goal is to completely satisfy our customers in Uniform Shops around the world.
Sailors now have the ability to e-mail their family and friends while on deployment.
It's as easy as putting your name on a sign-up sheet then showing up at your scheduled time. Each person is allowed 15 minutes to compose messages. Then the messages are sent out. Incoming messages are put into a folder for the crew member to pick up. The program is supervised by the ship's religious program specialists and other volunteers in the library.
