I wonder if the military rules of wearing a cover while under arms is not involved in the issue of having both hands free in case you need to use those arms. I would guess that the rule dates back to when men pretty much always wore a hat outdoors so there would be a preliminary assumption that a man has a hat in his possession to start with and if it isn't on his head it is very likely in his hands.As for why you wear a cover while under arms, that's the regulation. It's the military (or military training in this case); you follow the regs or you get punished.
I can't speak for the military services (Army and Air Force) but I can speak to the naval services (Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard). You are "under arms" and required to render proper a proper salute while under arms. You are considered under arms just by wearing a web gear pistol belt. You can't render a proper salute without wearing a cover. Now the military services salute just about any time and any where (not really, mostly while reporting to a senior officer while indoors).rlh2005 wrote:I wonder if the military rules of wearing a cover while under arms is not involved in the issue of having both hands free in case you need to use those arms.

RAWR!!!!You so vehemenetly defend the 2nd amendment yet you criticize me exercising the 1st!? No itis not a courteusy that should be shown if the american in question does not agree with the tradition. Im sick of this hypocrisy. and yet it would be entirely okay if it was a jewish man wearing a yarmulke.While eating breakfast at the local diner I noticed an eldery black gentleman came in and the first thing he did when he sat down was remove his hat. When I finished I walked over to him and said that I noticed his courtesy and wanted to thank him for letting me know that good manners were not completely forgotten by everyone. I paid for his breakfast and walked out.
It may be old fashioned but the removal of you hat while indoors is still a courtesy that should be shown. This is even more for these teen agers that are only wearing one for the fashion. Where is that 711 so if I am in that area I can shop there.

The 7-11 owner in question may require patrons to remove their hats, but nobody here said you are required to take your hat off. They just said that removing it is a sign of respect. You don't have to show respect in that way, it's your choice. Calm down and get some perspective.If I want to wear my damn hat while I eat at a restaurant then Igoddamned will and if you dont like it I'll tell you to go to hell and leave me be

When I was a cadet at Virginia Tech, it was extensively drilled into us that you always wear your cover (hat) when armed.

Jeeze, dude. Your attitude went well-downhill fast, and for no good reason.

If I want to wear my damn hat while I eat at a restaurant then Igoddamned will and if you dont like it I'll tell you to go to hell and leave me be, My hat is not causing any harm to anyone and not near as much as the multiple people in there smoking I dont like the god awful sick smell of smoke that smells like @$$but if I dont like it i just move to a better table. There are many reasons why people like to waer their hats all the time some men wear them indoors beacause they are bald, some like me just like having one on because of its sentimental value and it just plain feels right where it is and Im not going to take it off because its expected by some people.

[font="Arial, Helvetica"]Any man who prays or prophesies with something on his head disgraces his head, but any woman who prays or prophesies with her head unveiled disgraces her head--it is one and the same thing as having her head shaved. For if a woman will not veil herself, then she should cut off her hair; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or to be shaved, she should wear a veil. For a man ought not to have his head veiled, since he is the image and reflection of God; but woman is the reflection of man.[/font][font="Arial, Helvetica"] (NRSV, 1Corinthians 11:4-7)[/font] [/font]
