Fellow Marines!
When did they get rid of the "chrome dome" from boot camp? I have watched all the docs on boot, they don't seem to wear it anymore.
Semper Fi,

Not sure if I was chrome dome, cause I thought that was done by razor, but I was clipped damm close at SD in '65.

However, to answer your question, I would have no clue.

I think what Cpl Hood is referring to were the helmet liners that were painted chrome color. When I went thru Parris Island in '71 we still had them.

Summertime wear in P.I. Kept you're lilly white scull many degrees cooler. S.D. probably didn't need them. Didn't get that hot down on the beach.

SD never had them. It's a P.I. thing.
