I guess the tradition of hoodlums knocking off people's hats is still alive.

I still have my boonie from Iraq as well, in desert MARPAT. I cut the brim very short, as was the fashion in my unit, largely because it pissed off my 1stSgt, who was a chode. I wear the boonie for fishing and camping and the like. I also have my black fleece beanie, which I kept even when they started issuing out the tan ones - the tan were for boots, black fleece made you look salty. I wear that in the winter. My day to day hat is a New York Mets hat, also in desert MARPAT, that I bought the year that MLB had the desert MARPAT hats for Memorial Day.

I used to have a straw cowboy hat that I used as a drinking hat. The drinking hat tradition is an excellent one, and should be more widely adopted. My favorite drinking hat now is an Australian Army tanker beret that I traded one of my uniform hats for when I was in the Marines. I wanted to trade for one of their slouch hats, but they would only trade it for my dress blue jacket, and that was too steep a price.
