RetSNCO As Mark Twain said it is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open ones mouth and remove all doubt.

@RetSNCO yes you are absolutely correct. You missed the memo.

@RetSNCO the future of our airmen is safe as AFI 36-2903 paragraph 1.2.13. states authorized headgear will be worn while outdoors unless in an area designated as a no hat area by the installation commander or equivalent.
Chief C, San Antonio

@RetSNCO Areas may be temporarily designated a no hat no salute area. So your point is both petty and irrelevant.

How dare he hold a cereony during sequestration How dare he not tell people to wear hats... Kidding farewell SecDef Donley it was a pleasure to meet you and I wish you the best in the future.

Unless I missed the memo is the area outside the Pentagon a designated 'no hat area' If not it'll be hard to enforce the standard after Airmen see this image.
RetSNCO, Maxwell
