Did anyone else catch the "When on a military installation, civilian headgear will be removed indoors IAW established norms."

I usually remove my civilian headgear anyway. I always have even before I joined the military. It use to be the norm in the civilian world that men remove their hats indoor.

Never going to happen for me. The reason is I am ALWAYS armed. When under arms the head gear is to remain in place.

I had not seeing that one. I do it automatically anyway, reflexes after 27 years active.
However, It might cause protocol problem when we have civilian guests,not DA Civilians nor former military), in our installations for specific activities.

Exactly, I see an enforcement issue. Unless you know that person is a Soldier then making correction could be an issue.

I was never aware of the regulatory requirement, but I assumed it was a cultural norm..

I rarely remove my civilian hat, I'm usually wearing one because I didn't want to mess with my hair on the weekend. You are right though that it is a norm in the Army.

After all these years of being forced to wear one outdoors, I guess my subconscious is just feeling rebellious...
