Or maybe it was when we were in the field. Actually I think it was more during field stuff. I can't quite remember but I know I did use it when I first came in and in my first unit when we were in the field or deploying. I can't remember exactly what I put in it. Info cards as others mentioned maybe?Response by SFC Kelly Fuerhoff made Mar 24 at 2021 2:18 PM2021-03-24T14:18:36-04:002021-03-24T14:18:36-04:00CSM Danny S.6850233<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I never use this pocket because anything you put in there will eventually get sweat stains. Additionally it isn't practical, you have to take off your cover and bend it around to get your items out. I fold my cover and put it in my cargo pocket so I always have it with me so using the pocket wouldn't work very well. I looked at some BDU covers I had on a shelf in the closet and they didn't have one. I guess I chalk this up to the same category as the ear flap the winter BDU covers had. It's there but I never used it.Response by CSM Danny S. made Mar 24 at 2021 4:36 PM2021-03-24T16:36:25-04:002021-03-24T16:36:25-04:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member6850665<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I put my COVID vaccine card in mine.
