smurf

A newly entered recruit in Navy boot camp who is thus called on account of wearing blue Navy hoodies and pants for the first week of indoctrination and inprocessing, and until Navy utility uniforms are issued. They are also shorn of their civilian hair styles: bald for males and shoulder-length for females. The clothes worn are also called 'smurfs' or smurfsuits.

The RDC berated the raw smurfs as they failed to grasp the concepts of marching.
