Should you wear your cover if...

[Sickllama]

The wind is blowing really hard and your at your homecoming football game outside? :afgarrison:

I don't know what AFJROTC regulations look like, but if they're anything like that of CAP - it's pretty clear. Outside? Wear your cover.

You wear your cover, if the wind is too strong and your cover will fly off your head into oblivion, I think it would be OK to restrain it with your hand, or if its a hurricane or something of that nature I think you could take it off lol. No, but really, just wear it, the wind shouldn't be THAT bad, and if you have to, talk with your SASI about a "no hat zone." SASIs, along with the principal, can establish "no hat zones" on school property if warranted, and if your stadium is really prone to wind, you could probably work it in. All they need to do is request it from HQ, your SASI will know.

Consider potentially using Bobby Pins to get it to stay on your head. Also, if JROTC Regulations allow, the officers cap may stay on better.

Unless you have a no hat zone established or you are inside of doors, keep it on.

Thank you for telling me this cause some of the cadets were telling me to take it off and it turned out they got demoted and got handed demerits, So thank you.

Hehe sorry if I'm off topic here, but this reminds me of a time when my NSCC squadron was on a pretty fast ferry and one of our Leaguers (junior cadets) got his cover blown overboard...

We were allowed to take them off afterwards.

Yea it's always just a good rule of thumb to check with the SASI. If you can't find them just follow the CoC. But I'm sure you already knew that lol.

Well, the way I see it is unless you're on the deck of a ship or under some sort of structure, you wear your cover outside.

Nobody really cares how "you see it." Cadets, I am tired of reminding you of this. There are governing directives that tell you when, where, and how to wear the uniform. Compliance with those governing directives is NOT optional. I strongly recommend that you learn that. We DO NOT deal in "I thinks."

Yes sir that is true, but some units have different regulations on when and where is the right time and place to where your cover. for instance, I was talking to a friend of mine at a competition who's from another unit and he was told by his commander not to wear his cover indoors while under arms, though my commander previously told our cadets to always wear our cover indoors under arms. I later asked my friend about this and he said that it was his ASI of his unit that passed that rule.

How do different units have different regulations? Last I checked, regulations are only put out from the governing headquarters, not at the unit level. Your unit may have directives or SOP's which supplement the regulation, however your unit does not have it's own regulations.

As far as instructors making "directives" that conflict regulations, that's another story altogether. But as far as the Army goes, when you are indoors, under arms, in an official capacity, you wear your cover, and THAT, Cadet, is regulation.

If someone in your unit condradicts a regulation, they always lose (regardless of rank or position). Print out the regulation and show it to the appropriate individuals so you don't start running your own show at the unit level. Nobody outranks the regulations.
