Quick question for the Aussies...

Post by Elheru Aran »

OK, here it is...

I've always wondered-- just why does the Australian military wear one side of their hats pinned up? I can certainly see why they'd wear broad-brimmed hats (for the sun and all), but one would think that they'd have less protection from the sun with the brim pinned up like that? Is there some story behind this or what?

(OK, so I'm bored... and sleepy too... but hey, at least i'm sleepy for a good reason-- I was talkin' to this sweet chick last night till 1:45 in the morning! I definitely see potential there... and no, Supes, I have not gotten any tail yet... :P )
It's a strange world. Let's keep it that way.

not sure on the real reason, but it does look kinda unique, maybe it was to distinguish themselves from other soldiers at a distance?
