*shrug*
They're hats.


"You ever notice that? Any time you see two groups of people who really hate each other, chances are good they’re wearing different kind of hats. Keep an eye on that, it might be important." - George Carlin


(I don't really wear anything for decorative purposes. It's all mostly practical.)

:biggrin:

I hate our government leaders...

The country should just be run by a series of ATOT polls.

Isn't that roughly how California does it?

umm what are you talking about? i think you mean the flight cap? AKA the wise and beautiful woman cap. it has its purpose.

AF dress cap

AF Flight cap

Please do explain the purpose of the flight cap. I'd love to hear this. I wore one every Monday for quite awhile. It servers no purpose.

At least the bus driver cap does something other than look stupid.

It can be folded and put into your pocket.

then join the Legion.

the hats look retarded.

At least the Legion has better things to do than cry about their uniform. No wonder we can't win wars any more.

 

[BoomerD]

There's going to be some pissed off Marines.

Hey, Boomer, weren't you in the Corp?

Yes I was...and those look fucking girly...like something you'd expect to see on a French cop.

Semper F*g?

Obama

He just wanted them to look pretty for their USMC birthday ball coming up soon. Speaking of which, I think this is the new palette for the USMC fleet of LAVs:

Those of us that serve and would be required to wear that shit?

Wow, you managed to get a sexist, xenophobic and homophobic string all put together. Impressive!

Stay classy. :whiste:

someone better tell dan daly his cover was girly

The Marine Corps Uniform Board may recommend the adoption of a universal cover for men and women to be worn with dress and service uniforms.

The change could take one of two forms. Either women could begin wearing current male covers with slight modifications, or all Marines could begin wearing new “Dan Daly caps,” according to a Marine news release. Daly caps feature a smaller crown, similar to the cover worn by two-time Medal of Honor recipient Sgt. Maj. Dan Daly, known best for his World War I exploits at Belleau Wood.

To gather feedback from both active duty and Reserve Marines, the Uniform Board distributed a survey across the Corps via sergeant majorsthat will run through Friday. The board will convene Oct. 29 and take the survey results into consideration, although they are not binding.

i love how the fox news article says 'according to the New York Post' as if they're separate entities. it's almost as bad as an ESPN article saying 'ESPN has learned the NFL and ESPN have inked a 10 year, 20 billion dollar deal for Monday Night Football'



and this is how the media manipulates people.

I like the dark color of the original. White has no place in anything military aside from winter camo.

I don't have a problem with the dress covers being white...except for keeping the fucking things clean...but I'm glad I don't have to wear the new ones.

 

[darkewaffle]

They're both pretty stupid looking, but the chick in the old style is the worst.

LOL I didn't notice that.

Way to go Boomer. You stupid jerk!!!

Which serves no function at all. They are stupid and should be done away with.

How demoralizing would that be for the enemy for a dozen of those to roll in and the Marines proceed to kick their ass.:biggrin:

Omar disagrees :whiste:

 

[andylawcc]

fox'news' ?

 

[randay]

i cant tell which one is the old one and which one is the new one.

 

[SlitheryDee]

So they swapped one stupid looking hat for another stupid looking hat. Big whoop.

 

[sdifox]

Left side is old. Notice how the minority was also swapped out :whiste:

personally i like the flight cap. easy to carry and for fills the need for flight crews to wear a hat when off the flight line

 

[Kadarin]

I still think the most impressive hat is the North Korean military hat:
