Questions regarding ohio wing packing list.

Since there's confusion around CAP, let's look at the real authority, AFI 36-2903, "Dress and Personal Appearance of Air Force Personnel."

Page 32, "Men's and Women's Headgear," refers to a service cap, a flight cap, a BDU cap and an organizational baseball cap. The matrix on page 54 also refers to a watch cap and a blue winter cap.

So that's caps, not covers -- so says our parent.

So says our own:

What does this mean? A BDU cover IS a hat.

Incoorect Sir.
CAPM 39-1 Figure 2-26 specifically calls is a BDU Cap.

[soapbox]
Normally, a hat can be worn in any such manner as the wearer so desires.  A "cover" Patrol Cap" or a "BDU Cap" is to be worn in the manner as proscribed IAW all relevant Regulations and/or manuals.

I can take my cover and wear it as a hat by wearing backwards //shudders//  A cover can be a hat, but does not mean that it is.

[/soapbox]

My point still stands.

"cover is not as good as "BDU Cap" but better than <shudders> hat.

A Hat is, by defintion:

1.  A covering for the head, especially one with a shaped crown and brim.
2.
a. A head covering of distinctive color and shape worn as a symbol of office.
b. The office symbolized by the wearing of such a head covering.

3. A role or office symbolized by or as if by the wearing of different hats

I'm sorry you don't happen to like the word, but it is what it is, regardless.

And a "BDU cover" is a hat, whether you like it or not.

I can't believe we have to have this argument.

I can't believe this has gone on this long without MIKE locking it...

I was going to go one more, then decided to be good, but you're right.
