For a real sign as to how much this is driven by the Marines, look
at the soft cap that staff sergeant is wearing about half way down
the page. Does that shape look a bit familiar?

I'm hoping that since these uniforms are still beta they'll come to
their senses over the cover. Develop one that's totally unique or
keep it the same as they've been using (which'll be quickly replaced
by morale caps in squadron usage), but don't try to copy the Marines.
That cover is uniquely Marine and should be left alone.

The only folks I know of other than Marines who can get away with wearing
that cover are SeaBees (respect born out of frequent cooperation) and SEALs
(are you going to tell them they can't?)

OTOH, the security police beret actually looks decent with this uniform.

Speaking of which -- any bets on how long the Beret lasts in the Army now
that Shinseki is gone? I give it three months.
