I get to hear a lot of interesting questions and stories.
Figured I would start postingg some "common" stuff that either I heard growing up or Soldiers have told me that they have heard.
Want to see what folks have been told, what they believe and what is actually right.

If outside and the area is marked no head gear then no head gear, but if it isn't marked you wear head gear Or be prepared to be put on CSM's grass cutting detail! LOL So i have been told.

Curious... I see a lot of soldiers without their patrol caps on foreign ruck marches, such as the Norwegian Foot March and 4 Days March. Are they out of regs?

The phrase "under cover" literally does not occur in AR 670-1 (I've just cntrl+F'ed it like 10 times to be sure). What it DOES say, is that it will be worn outdoors. So I guess the only lattitude a barracks lawyer could find is "how do you define outdoors?", but I don't see that flying far...

I know it is SFC Willis, but I also posted that comment a year ago, when it was the most recent.

If we're not surrounded by 3 walls, we are outdoors and should wear headgear. But if I'm the only one wearing headgear, I take mine off for uniformity's sake.

SFC (Join to see), thank you for replying, but I don't get your point. CSM Maynard's question was regarding, "common stuff that ... Soldiers have told me that they have heard. Want to see what folks have been told." His question examines the fiction many of us have been handed through the years via word of mouth, and this was my contribution.
