Maybe not the most useless.....I've always thought the UN troops should wear a fez for that very reason....  
The fez at least makes you look taller. The traditional berets (of Spain, France, etc) were wide-brimmed. While the .mil beret is more svelte than those, it only serves as a minor head-warmer/sunburn protector for the scalp. The piss-cutter (don't know the proper name) was similarly useless.

This should be the issue hat:

Garrison cap.

The Navy garrison cap was substantially heavier material wise than the army and airforce versions I saw at my old command. Much better for ensuring noggin warmth in winter weather (also I preferred it than the dixie cup when wearing winter blues).

I always wondered why something with ear and neck protection from the sun was not part of the standard cap in garrison.  I guess skin cancer shows up well after a soldier ETS's and the Army didn't consult their dermatologists for uniform requirements.

The Navy garrison cap


That's just wrong.

Khaki's and cutlasses for Chiefs are a great idea though!

I went through Navy boot in Orlando, in August. Ball caps do nothing to keep the sun off of your ears. I don't think any of the fair skinned members of my company didn't have crusty, bleeding, burned ears after the first week. I guess sunblock hadn't been invented by 1980.

New headgear for pigment challenged recruits...maybe we can get the ACLU and NAACP to back us on this...

Don't forget the unwritten uniform requirements.  Like how the old BDU winter PC had ear flaps but you could never wear them because it didn't look squared away.

Those things work amazingly well for hot and cold weather. But I think his 'stache is outside of regulation length.

Could be. Or perhaps he was just an early Obama supporter.
