(3) How worn.
(a) The hat is worn with the service and utility uniforms by male drill sergeants assigned to valid drill sergeant

school and are actively engaged in drill sergeant instruction, will wear this hat. Upon release from this assignment,
NCOs are no longer authorized to wear the drill sergeant hat.
(b) The black leather strap, issued with the hat, is worn threaded through the appropriate eyelets in the brim of the
hat, so that the strap goes around the front of the hat, and the buckle is fastened and centered at the back of the
wearer’s head. The running end of the strap will be to the wearer’s left. Personnel will wear the hat without noticeable
tilt to the front, rear, or either side, so the brim of the hat is as nearly level in all directions as is possible. No
modifications in the shape of the hat are authorized. The headgear insignia worn on the drill sergeant hat is prescribed
in paragraph 28–3b (see fig 27–11).
