Unless you are under arms or taking part in an indoor ceremony with outdoor protocol, you take your COVER off when entering a building.
Removing one's hat or cover or whatever, used to be proper etiquette when entering any building. That seems to have fallen by the wayside along with proper silverware placement and the addressing one's elders as Sir or Ma'am or Mr. or Mrs.................
Does removing cover apply to females as well? When I was in Sea Cadets, women didn’t have to remove cover (men did). Then again that was back in the 1980s

When I was teaching at a University, I caught flack because one of my class rules was take off your hat in my classroom. Period. End of discussion. If you don’t like it, drop the class.
If you are a Veteran wearing a theme related cover, it is permissible to render a hand salute while covered.

Correct BUT, I am very guilty of not removing when entering a building. I say that I don’t want to blind anyone and the indoor theory being if say at a VFW or Legion etal meeting, Covers removed with only one ‘allowed’ is the ‘official P-Cutter’ but that gets removed quite often throughout the meeting.
My response etc was in ref to outdoor events....
Oh, I do use Ma’am when appropriate but am running out of people that I would address as Sir or consider an elder..(HA).
I have a problem ‘handling’ a person my age or in the same range that sports a pony tail, extremely long hair or scraggly ‘intellectual’ beards...
But that is just ornery ole’ me....
