If we are an old unit, why can't we wear Tri Corner hats as part of our unit to connect with our past?

Now you've gone and done it. Someone on the Army Uniform Board is going to read this and want to connect to the Army's "Warrior Culture."

Beards, Face Tattoos and Piercings, Scarring and eccentric haircuts for all.

Safety, plain and simple.

What most people don't realize is that the tri-corner actually died out due to eye injuries. Seems people kept forgetting where the front peak was in poking their battle buddies in the eye.

What is ALSO not commonly know is that the current boonie cap is actually a NOD to the tri-corner of old, but the rim is intentionally floppy to prevent previous eye injury issues.

Line the hidden part of the brim and demonstrate it's functionality as a funnel to the powers that be. Great for filling canteens or adding oil or hydraulic fluids to vehicles, aircraft and other motors. Point out the money the Army could save on funnels.
