Well, waiting for my bus at the Pentagon, I finally noticed all the army officers wearing them today.  I'm not sure when they started wearing them but today I noticed.  One lady Major took hers off in the bus and she had a big crease across her forhead.  I guess the elastic or whatever is very tight.  Looks pretty uncomfortable from what they had before.

Saw a few large overweight guys wearing them and boy do they look silly.  Makes me want to [puke]

Aviator, you are correct.  The flash is baby blue with 13 stars surrounding their rank.  

The blue is Carolina Blue...  I can't stomach UN blue.

Light blue is also the color for Infantry.  I have an oportunity to go back in the reserves.  Do not know if I'll do it now, as I think general issue of an elite groups head gear is a bandaid approach to strengthen moral.  Good leadership, realistic and challenging training always gave me a woodrow to push on.

Sorry ladies and Gentlemen,

But our military readiness (or lack thereof) is a MUCH bigger issue than what kind of cover we have on.
