It just isn&#39;t a functional piece of headgear and it has been relegated to a ceremonial status which is where it should belong. Any hat that takes two hands to put on is not a good Army cover.

It just looks silly. We got rid of it for a reason, drop it for anything except the dress uniform COL Private RallyPoint Member Sat, 09 Feb 2019 14:57:05 -0500 2019-02-09T14:57:05-05:00 Response by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 2 at 2019 2:00 PM https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/as-of-2018-does-the-u-s-army-still-wear-berets-with-their-ocps-can-you-choose-between-the-patrol-cap-and-beret?n=5298671&urlhash=5298671 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>At the commander&#39;s discretion, yes LTC Private RallyPoint Member Mon, 02 Dec 2019 14:00:00 -0500 2019-12-02T14:00:00-05:00 2018-05-28T09:02:28-04:00
