    Totally dissaggree to this. As Firefigthers we also had for our uniforms (out of operation of course) a hat like that one on your picture, and we were taught that the hat has to be took of when ever we are inside for meetings or that alike. (What is conform with your claim seeing officers sometimes without a hat) So the helmet beeing part of hte uniform isn't a sufficient reason. Commented Aug 19, 2016 at 10:08

    First of all, I assume being a firefighter, does not have a glimpse of comparison with being a O, C or HC rated officer in the Imperial Navy in the Star Wars universe. However, I agree with you that it makes sense that hats are not worn during meetings like in EP IV, but on any other occasion, they're part of the uniform whilst on duty. At least until you are taking EP VII into consideration where officers are commonly seen without the hat. Stormtroopers are considered enlisted of the GE, so they have to comply to regulations whilst on duty, a.k.a. wear full inform if ordered to do so. Commented Aug 19, 2016 at 12:42

    @Devaron most military uniforms and civilian uniforms in (for lack of a better word) military-like organizations (police, fire fighters, etc.) have the rule of removing your cover (hat) when indoors. For example, see the US Navy's uniform regulations on headgear see section 1101.4. So yes, I think being a firefighter does probably have a glimpse of comparison to being in the Imperial Navy in Star Wars, especially about when you are supposed to wear your hat.
