No, a Major is not entitled to scrambled eggs. Those are reserved for flag officers. You must be an 0-6 (Navy Captain or Colonel) to wear them.
Yes, a cover is required for the United States Marine Corps dress blues ABCD. The cover, also known as a hat or cap, is an essential component of the dress uniform and is worn by all Marines in the designated uniform.
In my time in the Marine Corps, I have never seen a Navy Corpsman wearing anything resembling a Marine Corps emblem (Eagle, Globe, and Achor). Navy Corpsman do however wear a Hospital Corpsman emblem on their left collar and their rank insignia on the right side collar. The Hospital Corpsman emblem looks like a shield with the medical symbol of 2 snakes wrapped around a staff or rod with wings. They are allowed to wear Marine Corps Uniforms, but are not allowed to wear any Marine Corps insignia; they must instead wear insignia identifying them as being Navy personal. When wearing the Marine cammies, they do not have the EGA (Eagle, Globe, and Anchor) on the cover (hat) or left side breast pocket. They also have US Navy on the left name tape, instead of US Marine. They are however expected to maintain Marine Corps standards when in a Marine Uniform. All of this is explained in MCO P1020.34F. Add: I'm sitting here looking at my husband's (A Navy Corpsman) cover and there is, in face, an EGA on the front of the cover. ADD The corpsman never use to wear it till recently when they began using the marine core marpat uniform if they were a field corpsman which has an eagle globe and anchor on the pocket and cover. Though they are not marines they still wear it since they serve with the marines.
With rare exceptions, if any, the Marines were always working I Corps (MR I).
The eight points on the Marine Corps cover represent the eight points of the King's Crown, not sure if this is true for every branch that might wear an eight point, but it is true for the USMC.
Yes, so long as it meets certain criteria; not offensive, racist, hate symbol, doesn't cover a certain percentage of exposed skin, etc.
Those letters will spell scree (loose stones that cover a slope).
The best definition for the word knoll in "you scrambled behing the knoll for cover" would be "a small rounded hill or mound, a hillock".
You can get coverage on a boat with marine insurance. It will cover the boat while on the water.
No, Marine Corps officers are issued dress blue uniforms by the government as part of their standard issue. However, they are responsible for maintaining and replacing their uniforms as needed throughout their career.

First off, that thing on your head isn't a hat or a cap, it is a cover. Knowing that, you should find it easy to locate a blocking frame upon which you dry your starched cover. If you still haven't gleaned enough key words to google it, take a look at the attached link or use an oatmeal box and clothes pins.
