mikie Posted July 22, 2016 Share #1 Posted July 22, 2016 Sometimes I see something that is otherwise completely unremarkable, but yet it starts calling out to me to pick it up and take it home. In this case, it's my first boonie. Absolutely thing special about it I'm sure, it's a bit worn, but still, once I picked up, I just couldn't put it back down. I well know that I am slightly insane, but I was wondering how many others here share the condition with me. Mikie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vpep Posted July 22, 2016 Share #2 Posted July 22, 2016 I suffer from that affliction as well. Good find, definately a nice hat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikie Posted July 23, 2016 Author Share #4 Posted July 23, 2016 Much to my surprise, my wonderful 17 year old daughter told me the hat was cool. Surprised because she has no interest in militaria. She said that bucket hats are trending now. I guess it must have been my unerring fashion sense that made me get it. Mikie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattS Posted July 23, 2016 Share #5 Posted July 23, 2016 Be careful buying boonies, they tend to multiply once you realize there's the original Vietnam olive green, ERDL, woodland, 6-color desert, 3-color desert, ACU, Multicam, not to mention the MARPAT woodland and desert plus the USAF tiger stripe. Here's a thread I started on them: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/262049-boonie-hats-vietnam-to-today/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bheskett Posted July 23, 2016 Share #6 Posted July 23, 2016 Yep they are like Tribbles from the old Star Trek series. But they are just so cool, ya gotta have just one more. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellasilva Posted July 23, 2016 Share #7 Posted July 23, 2016 I know the feeling as well. I wanted a chocolate chip Desert Storm Era boonie more than anything for a while. Finally got one, in my size and now it's my grass cuttin' cap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
