Usmc shore party helmet cover

Here is a fairly rare helmet cover I acquired.
It is a USMC Shore Party cover denoted by the red squares belonging to a SSgt.

The Marine Corps still uses that little red square behind the chevron to let you know who is in the loading/unloading crews.
It is also used in the aviation field for the load handlers of C-130's and Helo's
