Just went up to Great Lakes' NEX a couple weekends ago. Got 2 sets of poli-wool khakis, athletic fit (which rocks), and 2 covers of the same material.
The lady checking me out gave me crap about the size of the covers I bought. I like mine to be down on my forehead (not high) and I think the dip is in my near future too, right? But she said, "Your cover is to be worn high on your head, like a Marine...with no dip. THEY'LL get you for that..." I just chuckled, thanked her for the advice and told her I'd like to purchase them anyway. There was a Seaman behind me in line who was siding with her and trying to talk me out of wearing the cover like I do.
I don't wear it down near my ears like some old CO's I've seen. I just don't like my garrison cover to be all "JROCT-like" in its fit--too high, too straight, too small for my head.
