Marines Thinking About Switching to a New Unisex Hat

ABC ^

[Perdogg]

The Marine Corps is contemplating a uniform change that would create a unisex service cap. The Marines are also exploring whether to have women use a slightly modified version of the hat used by male Marines instead of the distinctive “bucket cap” they now wear. If the unisex design is chosen it would be the first change to that part of the Marine uniform since 1922.

A Marine official says that recently the Marine Corps Uniform Board, comprised of non-commissioned officers and officers, discussed a change in the headgear known as a “cover” as a means of streamlining uniform rules for men and women. Since 1952 female Marines have worn distinctive service caps known as “bucket cover.” About 6 percent of the 195,000 Marines in active duty are women.

I was sitting with my World War II Marine uncle this afternoon and he saw this. He had tears coming down his cheeks and clenched fists. He wiped away the tears and just glared at the TV.

A “Dixie cup” style hat. Why, that’s just fabulous.

If the men are going to wear a woman’s cover to streamline uniform regs, they should also wear the women’s dress officer skirt. I’m sure they are cheaper to make.

True unisex uniformity.

Oh, and the women’s high heal shoes, too.

That will help accomplish obama’s goals of totally feminizing the Corps. I mean Corpse.

My brother, the Marine, would tease me mercilessly about my “Bus Driver” Air Force uniform in the 1970’s. I would surely get the last laugh if they corps goes to the feminine covers.

Will the women be getting a haircut like the men now? I mean, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander

Perhaps they could also require the men to wear bras.

Thanks, clinton8r. I’ll tell him and it will make him happy. He’s pretty upset these days. (Like all of us).I know he’ll want to return it to you.
