Professional Soldiers ® - View Single Post - Stetson hat to be new Army standard headgear

I still have my stetson from my 1st Cav. days and my combat spurs, but I would never dream of wearing either with my ASU's to, lets say the Menton Ball.

I am curious what the proper headgear will be with the greens, they won't be phased out till 2014, dark blue stetson and greens? Major NO GO.

In a time when budget cuts to the DoD are all the rage, is this really necissary? During WWII when major cuts in operations budgets took place the Army did something smart, they combined a field and dress uniform that actually served its purpose quit well and saved money. Now in the early hours of our 2nd great depression we are adding a damn cowboy hat to the mix!

Next up collar/leashes and halter/saddle so we can pay respects to the dog and pony show the army has become.
