These covers are worn ONLY by USMC pilots. The purpose is to signify
that the pilot was a "ground pounder" first. Marine Corps pilots must serve at
least a year in the infantry before they are eligible to fly. The logic being: there will
be a bond between the guys on the ground and the pilots/ officers; the pilots will know
what the guys on the ground are going through. The cover can be found in desert camo or in
woodland camo. They are made out of standard ground troop helmet covers
and are custom
fitted to each helmet. I sincerely apologize to all Marine Corps pilots for the mistake.
The desert storm color helmet covers are affectionately referred to as "Chocolate
Chip Cookies." |
