Drill sergeant candidates at the United States Army Drill Sergeant School are fitted and issued their hats just days before graduating from the prestigious course. The female version of the drill sergeant hat came into existence in 1972 as a beige version of the Australian bush hat, when six noncommissioned officers from the Fort McClellan, Ala., became the first females to successfully complete the Drill Sergeant Course. It was later changed to a green color in 1983 but retained its general design. The difference in the male and female drill sergeant hat versions has become a topic for contentious debate in recent years.
