Are those real stockings? During WWII, almost all the synthetic fabrics being produced were being used for the war effort, which made stockings incredibly difficult or impossible to find, so women took to drawing on the "seam" with makeup instead. Maybe they're inspecting how good of a job they did at faking them?
One of the ways they got women to enlist was to give them first shot at the small supply of real stockings. For their uniforms of course. Definitely not to be used for date night or making that horrid Sally jealous.
