The ball cap hat device above the visor is measured how many inches?

• A. 1/2 inch
• B. 3/4 inch
• C. 1 inch
• D. 1 1/4 inch

Answer: (D)

The key idea is that hat insignia on a ball cap has a fixed vertical placement to keep uniform appearance. The regulation sets the distance from the visor to the hat device at 1 1/4 inches. So the bottom edge of the device sits about 1 1/4 inches above the visor (centered on the cap’s front). This spacing ensures the insignia is clearly visible and balanced with the visor across all personnel. Smaller gaps would crowd the device against the visor, while larger gaps would look unbalanced.
