It doesn't matter what head gear they wear, they will always suffer the never ending laughter of the Army. In OSUT at Knox we used to ambush the Marine Tankers and steal their hats so we could watch them run to their barracks with their hands on their heads. It was HI-LARIOUS! Quote HistoryQuoted:

That's the dumbest looking headgear I've ever seen. Did they actually pay some pogue to think of this shit? Need a real Marine to stomp a mid hole in his ass.

Of course a little explanation to those Non USMC types might be in order...
The cover worn now (whether it be green or white) is one that is taken apart to be stowed in the seabag etc... It may look similar to the other services hats but theirs are not able to be taken apart for storage or even for change of the actual cloth cover. You only need one bill / frame assembly and you can have multiple cloth covers of varying colors (I remember having different ones back in 73 - Khaki, tropical, green wool and green polyester along with white). The Dan Daily style was probably replaced with the new style because it might not have been as easy to make it compact for storage (those that have posted here that own them might either be able to confirm or make this statement moot.) That is the opinion and information I have to share in this discussion. Ted... |

Does the USMC lose their mind every time it shifts back into peacetime?

Quote HistoryQuoted:
I was walking into one of the "one stop" check-in buildings on Lucy Brewer St. at Lejeune around 2005 or 2006 for something-probably to register my POV, and a MSgt and LCpl were walking out together as I was approaching the entrance. They both had their Alpha dress uniforms on, as is customary when you check in. The MSgt had about five rows of ribbons and looked fairly weathered. The LCpl had about four. He may have been a LCpl 2nd Award, but he was still young. Kind of like the RSO I met out at ETA-5 in May of 2005 when he scheduled a range inspection to get cleared from the range they occupied the previous day and finished with. He was a GySgt from 2nd Recon and looked about 24 years old-if that. War. Quote HistoryQuoted:

One of my coworkers got out right before Iraq and when he sees the uniforms of the guys who stayed in, they were getting more in one year than he had in four. |

ok
so we have super-FRO saying it's only for chicks on her facebook page Bonnie Amos, First Lady of the Marine Corps · 7,366 like this 10 hours ago · .. I'd like to address some questions I have been getting: the President in no way, shape or form directed the Marine Corps to change our uniform cover. We are looking for a new cover for our female Marines for one overriding reason: the former manufacturer went out of business. The Marine Corps has zero intention of changing the male cover. but you have MARCORSYSCOM saying it's up for a vote through the Sgts Maj http://www.marcorsyscom.marines.mil/News/PressReleaseArticleDisplay/tabid/8007/Article/152335/board-asks-marines-opinions-about-uniform-issues.aspx One issue is whether the Corps should adopt universal, unisex dress and service caps—either the current male frame cap with modifications or the Dan Daly cap, which had previously been identified as the replacement cap for the female “bucket” cover. so.... Mrs. Amos' facebook page is blowing up - which we all know is the best way to get command change but who knows what they'll actually do. |
