Headgear a. The patrol cap. (1) General. The patrol cap is standard headgear worn with the combat uniform in the garrison environment. The patrol cap has a visor, circular top crown, side crown with an outside crown band, and a hook-and-loop pad on the back of the patrol cap (see fig 4–1). (2) Wear. Personnel wear the patrol cap straight on the head so that the cap band creates a straight line around the head, parallel to the ground. The patrol cap will fit snugly and comfortably around the largest part of the head without bulging or distortion from the intended shape of the headgear and without excessive gaps. No rolling of, blocking, or alterations to the cap are authorized. The cap is worn so that no hair is visible on the forehead beneath the cap. The nametape will be worn centered on the hook-and-loop pads on the back of the patrol cap. Soldiers may sew on the nametape and/or grade insignia as an option. Hook-and-loop fasteners for the nametape may be left on or removed when sewing it on to the patrol cap. If Soldiers choose to sew on the name tape or grade insignia, it will be at their own expense. 2014-08-06T11:31:54-04:00 SGT Joseph Smith 195622

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Clearly wrong. It's not really debateable.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>By regulation standards, it was wrong, is still "wrong". But everything is debatable, but debating (in this environment at least) doesn't change the reg's. However, I always preferred a roll in my cap as well and very few cared if I ever did outside of training atmosphere's anyway.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It's wrong, we all know that and those that do it would have to defend their reasoning for being soldiers or leaders who knowingly violate regulations. <br />One would assume that Rangers of alll people, self proclaimed masters of stealth and camouflage would know that shaping the hat makes a very noticeable silhouette. I also dislike the ones who mash down the front like they are wearing a civil war cap.<br />Sure I don't like wearing a 2 quart sauce pan on my head either and wish they would redesign it but until then I will wear it like I am told.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>to be honest, us in the Airborne never had to worry about the LEG hat...hahahahha....we wore a beret all the time except when not on the rear. however, in the rare occasions we wore them, we had the roll. no one ever said anything. we always thought that it look stupid without the roll. This is going to sound bad, but i agree with the LT.

<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I served with 4th Bat. 31st Inf. Polar Bears 10th Mtn. Div. Almost all of us wore the roll. I don&#39;t remember ever being corrected as everyone over me wore them.
