I saw a pic of a WW I Non-Com shooting pistol practice in France. He had the front portion of the brim of his campaign hat tightly rolled up and back; looked almost like a curling wave. It looked a bit stupid until you could see how modding the front brim let him get a good sight picture on his 1911. |

Excellent, unisex covers for the integrated Marine Corps.
You just know there is some general officer sitting somewhere that believes, "The By God Ranks Will Look Uniform", and since women look stupid in a wheel hat, guess who gets to wear female garb ... Question, I'm not going to google the answer - Do USMC uniforms use different buckles on NCO and non-NCO belts? |

NCOs (Cpl-Sgt) get an Eagle Globe and Anchor added. SNCOs (SSgt-SgtMaj/MGySgt) have a laurel wreath around the EGA.   0E9s37F,T(BQNuV(b77Q~~60_35.JPG?set_id=880000500F) Officers get nothing.

Makes sense, as the whole point of going to Khaki was for concealment - they were fuield uniforms. Blue remained as the dress uniform. 
The idea works in principle, but the execution has been sorely lacking. The Prussian helmets are stupid, I would prefer the campaign hats or the current hats. The Cavalry Stetson would work, though. The rosy-cheeked light-in-the-loafers guy on the left kinda looks like the lesbian Marine in the OP. |
