I hate to admit it, but I talked my son into joining the Navy just so I could wear these cool hats!! Just kidding, but I am happy to find a hat group on Navy Dads!!
Even though appropriated spending funds has been slashed, the command can "raise" funds for these items which can include revenues generated from the commands ship's store, vending machines, etc... Somewhat of a good news ;)
I have a Surface warfare hat that I got at Trevor's P.I.R. ( I told him that I would get a new one when he achieved this pin), I have a captains hat from the U.S.S. Rentz (Trevor's ship) and I have a camouflage Navy Under Armor hat that Trevor got for me last yaer on Father's day.

My Son's Command Cap :)

That's a nice one Paul!
this is an uncommon one...given to me by Cmdr. Rick Orvik:

Bill that's a nice CVN-70 cap! I'll get mine for LPD-23 next time my son goes on leave...
Tim you have a good collection going there I only have 2 looking forward to grow this hehe...
With my son now entering his fifth week at Great Lakes, I suspect that my collection is about to grow considerably.
I'm pretty sure that one can't have too many caps.
