I actually haven't been to Rookies since it upgraded from a short order and ice cream counter with a few picnic tables to a full fledged restaurant, but my reliable source for Cape lore has reminded me for nigh on 48 years now that "rookies" was the nickname for trainees at Camp Wellfleet when it was an artillary training facility during WW II and the restaurant got it's name from that.
