Utility Cover, OD, USN. Officially categorized as "Cap, Utility, Cotton, Sateen OG-107." This is the standard US Navy "cover" used during the Vietnam War and through the 70's before switching to a Poly / Cotton Blend. We found several covers in the estate lot of the SEAL CDR. that we recently acquired. We have two with tags listed separately but this is the only cover that is named specifically to the SEAL from his younger days. On the underneath of the brim, the cover has "LT. NELSON" written. He would later retire as a Commander (O-5) and this would be from his earlier days as a LTJG or LT (O-2 / O-3). The condition is VG used; it has more fading and creasing than the other hats, but clearly it is the cover that he preferred to wear as evidence by the name underneath. I do not know the exact size, but it fits like a smaller cover. I would call it a SMALL maybe a Medium with some shrinkage.

Buyer will receive a PDF document that I put together covering the owner's US Navy career. The bio packet includes his Naval Academy Diploma, Commission in the Navy, Promotion to Commander while in Naval Special Warfare Unit Two, ID while serving in the Middle East, a great team pic in boats, and best of all, his hand written application to be a Foreign Service Officer after his retirement. This document has page after page where he outlines his entire career in the Navy to bolster his application as a Foreign Service Officer.
