Nice video !
They made a mistake though, the Young Soldier isn't wearing his cover (or hat to civilians) which is required when outside, he did have it in his hands at about the 30 second mark.
I know only veterans will notice that or probably care.
I remember a lot of guys getting chewed out for not putting on their cover when getting out of a car or leaving building.

I didn't always have a cover on. Certain situations dictate that. But I did make a note of it.:ummm:
Here's a picture that's totally Cool.

Regulations Definitely require a cover whenever you're outside, with the following exceptions:

Soldiers will wear headgear with the Army uniform, except under the following circumstances:

• Headgear is not required if it would interfere with the safe operation of military vehicles.
• The wear of military headgear is not required while in or on a privately owned vehicle (POV), a commercial vehicle, or on public conveyance (such as a subway, train, plane or bus).
• Soldiers will not wear headgear indoors unless under arms in an official capacity or when directed by the commander, such as for indoor ceremonial activities.
• Soldiers will carry their headgear, when it is not worn, in their hand while wearing service, dress, and mess uniforms.
• Soldiers are not required to wear headgear to evening social events (after Retreat) when wearing the Army blue and white uniforms, the enlisted green dress uniform, the Army green maternity dress uniform, or the mess and evening mess uniforms.
• Soldiers are authorized storage of the headgear, when it is not worn, in the BDU cargo pockets. Soldiers must fold the headgear neatly as not to present a bulky appearance.
• Soldiers will not attach the headgear to the uniform, or hang it from the belt.

Soldiers may continue to wear uniform items changed in design or material as long as the item remains in serviceable condition, unless specifically prohibited. See Appendix D, "Mandatory Possession and Wearout Dates," of AR 670-1.

I just wish they paid attention to detail (like they beat into us in the military) when making commercials, etc. involving Military Personnel.

Things like that just stick out like a sore thumb to some. Same thing with TV shows... Off topic but I have been catching up with Dexter and Dexter was able to track down his ex by the Florida tag on the front of her rental car... Anyone in FL knows we only have tags on the back.

Good video either way, looks like he took off his cover as he was exiting the cab instead of putting it on.

Great video..thank you for posting

I worked in NORAD CMC for 3 years. They'd tell us to wear hats in the tunnel one week and reverse the decision the next. Caused a great amount of confusion for everyone.


I agree the commercial is wrong but everyone tends to be lax around home and family.

Great initial video...:worthy:

Second video...Anyone that's been in the military can both enjoy and cringe at R. Lee's DI character in Full Metal Jacket...
