670-1 is the moderated updated versions, following new army code for entering a building and less covers the garrison cap, as it is not a commonly worn cap. other than recruits ect. where most berets have been adopted as standard uniform past special forces and special forces support groups black in 92 where individuals of those ranks are entitle to wear their black caps in and out of service. but ask your grand parents or find the old trydoc ar640-1. it covers the full extent of garrison cap wearing. and this is why there is a breach of confusions for the old ww2 round caps, and modern garrison caps. because technically speaking drill sergeant are not allowed to wear round caps according to federal law, tho it is policy mandated uniform in the us army. where only federal national park rangers are entitle to wear the round cap today out of ww2 remembrance from dates founded. where anyone wearing a ww2 round cap other than a federal park ranger can be issued a federal park fine across all states. and that law has been present and unenforced since the construction of the Hoover Dam. So yeah, if you go to temple, or was part of SF/SFSG’s the garrison or black cap stays ON! except during prayer.

When is the American Legion going to update our uniforms
By adding A gold Hashmark on the sleeves for every 5 years of membership our uniform coat.

Don’t our American Legion Members allowed to be proud when they wear their uniform coat/ jacket showing how long they have been member.

Also we need to show like the US Army a new uniform jacket
Why are we not Listening to our younger member we need to update our uniforms and ourselves

“Legionnaires not in formation will uncover upon entering the place of worship, remain uncovered during the entire service, and re-cover after leaving the place of worship. At the graveside, the cap should be held in the right hand over the heart during the entire service. In cold and inclement weather, the cap should not be doffed.” yamaka, yarmulke and kippah receivers are allowed to adornmen any hat in liue of, where generally the garrison hat stays on except during time of prayer for memory of the fallen ect in a manner of both religious and military respects combined, as within regards to ar640-1
