Marines Thinking About Switching to a New Unisex Hat

ABC ^

I can see where they are going with this .... next will be trousers that zip in the back rather than the front ... think Reggie has a part in the redesign?

Who’s the redheaded Chinaman girl?

The Obama regime trying to pussyfy one of the last bastions of normality in the government.

Since I am Freeping from my Broken Phone It's hard to get a close up on them. But I believe the one you are talking about is Jessica Jung (She is Korean By the way :))

That is the Group SNSD.

Are you old enough to remember the old Army cylindrical fatigue caps? They looked something like what DeGaulle or a French cop might wear, but olive drab. They may have been Jackie Kennedy’s idea since she was a real francophile.
But they didn’t travel well (and neither did JFK, I suppose) and Castro started wearing them, hmmm, so about ‘64, Gen. Westmoreland and other trendsetters introduced the ‘baseball cap.’

They’re leaning toward a “unisex” hat like women marines wear now. Cost for the new “unisex” hat would cost millions of dollars since 95% of marines are men. Unreal that this issue is even being discussed at a time like we find ourselves in now.

But they didn’t travel well (and neither did JFK, I suppose)...

Neither did Jackie's pillbox hat, come to think of it.

Why ignore my image of Crayon Pop?

Call your Congress Critter and complain!

The current Marine Corps Covers cost 240,000 dollars. The NEW “Unisex” will cost...8 MILLION DOLLARS.

I’d call my old CO, but he’s guarding the streets of Heaven now.

I didn't Ignore them!

They are too darn cute to do that.

I just said that the Male Hats work just fine on Females too....

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

I guess the “SEQUESTER” wasn’t that bad after all if they have money to piss away like this.

[GeronL]

Not really the other way around though

[servantoftheservant]

awful

I'm confused here. The cover that is being discussed looks to be for the "dress blue" uniform. The people pictured are wearing versions of the "class A" uniform. In my day, the "pisscutter" hat was worn with the class A uniform. Has this changed?

Dress Blues are not standard issue to all Marines afaik. So, I don't see how this would cost anybody much money.

And although the "unisex" cover is a terrible idea for the male Marines, I don't think it would look bad on the females.

[JediJones]

It’s the feminist, homosexualist agenda at work. They are offended at anyone acknowledging that there are differences between men and women, which they don’t believe in.

[Rockpile]

After bootcamp I wore my bus driver hat one time that I recall..Always used the green or khaki piss cutters.

I never had dress blues but the bus driver hat had the green
Winter uniform cover.

Marines have addressed this the past two days. That cover is nearly the same as that worn by medal of honor recepient Sergeant Major Dan Daly. Here’s a picture:

The only cover I had with my Class A's when I was in the army was a c**t cap. I guess you could say that was “girlie!”

[Shadowstrike]

from what I understand it’s for both. might be mistaken.
