Crackerjack Jumper

I've long been intrigued by the traditional Navy enlisted uniform. The kids today would call it "old school". The service dress blues uniform shirt the subject in the photo is wearing is called "crackerjack jumper".

I always thought the white cap, neckerchief, the bell bottom pants and the whole thing are really cool..and yes..really old school.

I am not a veteran of the US Navy so anyone who is can cheerfully correct me if I'm wrong.

Anchors Aweigh!

This image is reversed. His Seaman stripes (E-3) are on the wrong sleeve and da Vinci's Last supper image is also reversed.

[Thanks; fixed. tterrace]

Thanks, for an old salt from the 60s those stripes on the wrong sleeve were like fingernails on a blackboard to me.
