Hey that's my cover. I got a compliment from a sergeant the next day, so it must have worked! Thanks dude.

[@cameronhollis1002]

Hey Marine, I appreciate your video. I’m navy and reported to my ship in dress whites today. Gotta report tomorrow in my NWUs with an 8 point. Haven’t worn one in a year. Didn’t want to look like a shit bag and you helped out even without the starch. Thanks man.

Thank you so much and Semper Fi

[@macx6215]

Extra pointers I’ve learned in the Corps: Hairspray works in place for starch (for females that don’t wanna buy starch), and spraying on the INSIDE of the cover and ironing outside like usual has the same effect but also prevents that weird shininess on the outside you don’t want! Oh and a ponytail holder will work instead of a boot band to hold the bill in place

back in my day in 1975 and 79 we had to cover block you would dip it and King starch put it on the cover block but it button a bill down with clothes pins in the sumbitch was hard as a rock

[@eduardocaballero2317]

I want to try that!

Yeah mine was as hard as a rock you could hear a thud when it hit the desk 😂😂😂

[@zaneschaeffer5992]

Great video, one less thing to worry about learning in BASIC! 👊

[@Retired_Retard]

I was a Marine in the old days, 71 to 77. We had cover blocks that you could adjust to the size of your head. You would place your cover on the block and paint it with non-diluted liquid starch and let it dry over night. The cover blocks were issued in boot camp. The resulting cover was a lot harder and held it form a lot longer that the way you do it now. We wore non-starched covers in the field that normally looked like shit.

[@williambradfordbaldwin4386]

Thanks, trying to revitalize my uncles cap from the Korean war, made my own starch from corn starch and water in a spray bottle the old fashioned way. Keep em squared away!!

[@drob437]

After I washed my cover I would place it on a 8 pointed metal template while still wet and drench it in starch. The cover would shrink while drying and the result would be a highly squared away cover. "82-'86.

Who remembers the cover block and painting liquid starch on your cover with a paintbrush? Those were the good old days!

[@bobbiea.4464]

I remember my brother who was in the Marines during Vietnam did almost the same thing to his cover. He even taught me to do a real spit shine to his boots. Not sure if you guys have to do that to your boots anymore.

Get a number 10 can. Take your cover and place it on the can. Brush on liquid starch on the cover and let it stand for an hour. No iron. Cover looks great. This is too much like work. Semper Fi 1965..1968

[@connormagill4201]

Is starching against USMC regs? I know it is in the Air Force... adding starch makes you stand out under infrared radiation!

[@eduardocaballero2317]

Thank you for the question. But to answer it no it's not in the Order that states you cannot starch. Where it does say not to is on the washing instructions on the cammies that state not to. You're correct if you get deployed you will be seen by NVD'S but that is why you have inspection cammies and cammies for PFT'S CFT'S DEPLOYMENTS, ETC.

id also like to add that this is a garrison cover that is normally not worn in the field. for the field, we have the boonie cover which you dont starch
