While there was never any desire or intent to change the male Marine dress cover, the feedback we have received has been heard, loud and clear."Don Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444968656600936525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098674444128189886.post-8548485473390804282013-10-26T10:11:02.105-05:002013-10-26T10:11:02.105-05:00Board result was a 6-6 tie from the SgtsMaj and th...Board result was a 6-6 tie from the SgtsMaj and the tie breaking vote was in favor of the Dan Daily for everyone. I would have voted for option B because as a hat the cover is not very good and is eternally falling off my head. Changing the molding to actually fit on a persons head without changing a look is a good idea. <br /><br />But as you can see there was no option for only females will have a different cover.USMC 0802https://www.blogger.com/profile/08575800617871827503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3098674444128189886.post-57335299397632701702013-10-26T09:42:35.303-05:002013-10-26T09:42:35.303-05:00As the man said, "How can you tell when someo...As the man said, "How can you tell when someone is lying? When they keep changing their fucking story."<br /><br />HQ USMC, LTC Neil Murphy:<br />"Marine Corps and other services have been asked by the DoD to find a unisex option for a dress and service cover as a cost-saving measure."<br /><br />SecNav, CDR Tamra Lawrence:<br />"Navy Secretary Ray Mabus has asked the Navy and Marine Corps to look at moving to one cover for men and women. “The secretary believes that when you look at a group of sailors and Marines, you should see a group of sailors and Marines, indistinguishable by uniform,” said Cmdr. Tamra Lawrence, a spokeswoman for Mabus." <br /><br />HQ USMC, CPL Chelsea Flowers Anderson <br />"While the Marine Corps Uniform Board is currently looking for a new cover, or cap, for female Marines because the current manufacturer is going out of business, there is no intent to change the current male Marine dress cover.<br />A survey released by the Marine Corps Uniform Board eliciting input from Marines in regard to uniform items, sought opinions about the 'Dan Daly-style' cover."<br /><br />Interesting how the fabricating flacks seriously declined in pay grade from 0-5 to E-4 as time went on (as it always does).
