Change to The Marine Corps Uniform

The Marine Corps is considering a change to the hats that are worn as part of uniform. The change would make the hats unisex which would be a change from the two different hats they have now.

The proposed change is not being met with high acceptance. Some people are even going as far as to say that the hats are too "girly". Most changes to uniforms through out all branches of the military are greeted with opposition. I happen to agree with critics and don't believe that the uniform should be changed. With something that has been around for a while and is iconic should not be changed. I do not know very much about the uniform and the design or history behind it but i believe that it should stay the same. I also happen to believe that the new style of hat is not very appeasing to look at.

If anyone has any comments or would like to share their opinion on the proposed change please leave a comment below.

Returning Home

I have personally never had a family member go to war. I do not know what it feels like to have a loved one thousands of miles away, never knowing what is happening to them. I can only fathom what that must feel like and because I've never had someone across seas i don't know what it feels like to have a loved one come back.
This video originally shown on ESPN during Sportscenter brought tears to my eyes and after watching I sat in my seat for a few minutes reflecting what my family means to me.

This was such a great piece produced by ESPN and I hope everyone who viewed it can appreciate it the same way that I did.
