@@jeantaylor2308 -- A little background. The barracks is comprised of three components: the cloth cover, the part that sits on your head, and a grommet. The grommet has a straight metal part that fits into a socket on the part that sits on your head. It also has a round metal band. The socket part supports the vertical part of the cloth cover and becomes the attachment point for the Marine Corps Eagle, Globe and Anchor insignia. The band forces the cloth cover into its round shape. You normally purchase the whole cover (hat) in one size. However, the band does not always make the cloth part extend fully. Sometimes the cloth part is sewn a little oversized. It gives the finished cover a sloppy look. Years ago the Marines served aboard US Navy ships as guards and for ceremonial purposes. Sea Marines, as they were called, were somewhat fanatical about their appearance. One of the fixes for the sloppy cloth was to get an oversized grommet. The oversized grommet created that saddle in the cover which was to them very sharp looking.
@@Martin.arreola1 Congrats, one dude got a deployment. My point still stands. Fucking band wasn't hanging out on the PB while we humped all over fucking afghan.
I was in the Marine Band. We were trained at Boot Camp and SOI just like everyone else. We had readiness training every year. But I also see your point. The bands I was in weren’t very cohesive. There were a lot of squabbles and power trips and frankly, I left after my 4 years. It’s like the bands took themselves too seriously (esp with rank) instead of having fun and making music.
Timothy MacDonnell that’s sounds like the marine corps I know. Did my time in the infantry. Got out because I was tired of power tripping NCO’s running everything
Makes me proud to be a former member of the Marine Band at Okinawa and Lejune. In fact I get choked up watching this. Love my brothers and sisters
Talent and class. Semper Fi.
Thank you for sharing! 谢谢您的分享！
The Marines owned the Stars and Stripes. So professional!

As good as you will ever hear the Stars Spangle Banner. Not an easy piece of music to play and very often sounds sorta "plain",, not this time.
Check the saddle in that Marine's barracks cover!!!
@warlock -- amazing what a metal grommet one size larger than the cloth cover will do to improve the look of a barracks cover.
You mean the bend in his hat? 😋
Affirmative!@@jeantaylor2308

Russ805 actually they can all be deployed and go through military training to be in the marine band. It’s serious shit
