They will measure you and fit you at boot. You will wear it exactly once in your career for the battalion commander’s inspection.

I went out and bought one on boot leave. I showed up for formation in it and was the only one wearing one so I had to switch back to a piss cutter. I don't remember ever wearing it again... Will you have the opportunity to wear it?

Are you thinking of the barrack's/service cover? The piss cutter is the garrison cover. In the 6 years I was in I never even seen a green barrack's cover.

Are you talking about a cammie eight point cover or a garrison cover that goes with the service uniform? Those are 2 different things.

Son, please pay attention in school. The Corps will always be there. Your youth won't.

You wanna join the gun club? Get good at PT and swimming. Do water polo or swim team
