Another link, but dispelling the rumor that Obama is mandating the change...

Wow, will they start teaching French in the USMC

Navy has been thinking the same thing, all female mids at the academy starting last year have been wearing the male combination cover. Enlisted female USNA band members are also wearing male enlisted covers. Not sure when the decision will be made for the rest of the fleet.

The Marines I am out here with absolutely HATE this It's been the topic of a lot of "Blue vs Green" fun !!!

I don't get it…are these two possible "options" for a unisex cover, or would you wear the traditional combination cover with Alphas/Bravos, and then the "goofy hat" with other uniforms?

They could be really innovative and try ditching non-functional covers entirely...they already did something smart with no crease cammies and no polish boots...

Surely you're not advocating berets?

Good lord, don't go there Renegade!

 

[BigBadBoJenkins]

Berets for everyone!

Seriously though, I'm tired of uniform changes. The DOD should institute a 5 year uniform freeze. That would save a few dollars.

clear;y a worthy mission for Task Force Uniform...after they fix the ObamaCare website naturally.

I suspect this is coming from the gender norming crowd. Dress men and women the same, an presto........they are physically the same. Progressives like to change things they can like language, appearance ect... to appear to change things they can't, like ability.

Turns out this story isn't all that correct.
