What is the authorized headgear for ALC?

Things must have changed. I wore my DS hat when i went to ANCOC. If it were me, i wouldn't fight it but I would seek clarification.

As stated, you wear your organizational headgear at NCOES unless The Commandant dictates otherwise which would be outlined in your welcome packet. I was in ALC (‘10) and SLC (‘13), and we had Airborne, Drills, RIs, Regiment, Green Berets and CAG guys who all donned their respective head gear. Never was an issue. Only issue the Commandant has was with the mops on the heads of the CAG guys which he had no control over due to their operational requirements but they did shave.

Lol cause your not in Drill School silly

Don’t make a big deal out of something that is not promoting you. Your DS hat can’t promote you to SSG but graduating from ALC will. Pick which one is more important. I know because my husband just graduated from ALC in October (commandants list) and I pinned him (SSG) 3 weeks later.

I get it. But, it's organizational headgear. If you're still receiving SDAP, you've probably got a better case. However, this might be one of those time that it's better to get your crayon and color in the lines. I don't know what the reg says, but, if you're going to fight it, do it through the reclama process so as to not make it weird.

I attended ANCOC is 1982 while 'on the trail' at Fort Benning. I left my Hat at home and wore the regular uniform that had not been ruined by the post laundry. I left the hat and wore my patrol cap simply because the requirements of the school were such that the hat would be a pain in the butt to have to carry around. Made life easier. As a side note, while attending ANCOC at the same post as I was a drill (Ft. Benning) I did occasionally put the hat back on and go help out at the company when it didn't interfere with school. Regardless of what the policy is, going from class to field activities and back again, life is much easier with a patrol cap.

simple answer - The school Commandant sets the uniform for the school you are attending, if he says no DS hats, then it's no DS hats.

You want to stay in school !! Take the Hat OFF.... You are NOT a DI when you are in school..

When I was down at FT Sam in '15, there was a female SGT who wore her Drill Sergeant headgear. But again, that was in '15 and it was Ft Sam.

Are you under arms? If not, remove the cover.
