They always base the wear of the booine hat on how it would be worn in the rear in combat most guys pin the front bill upwards to keep the bill out of the eyes.That or you wear it tipped towards the rear for the same reasons.

Not sure why everyone does not copy the Aussie boonie they first wore in Vietnam it solves this issue by having a very short front bill and longer rear bill so you just flip it around to suit the situation.The IDF have the right idea copy the Aussie hat.The US military saw the Aussie hat and said yuk foreign design change it.
