It is not weird. The armed forces all do it, as they are preparing you to never forget to put on your helmet in wartime when you go outside.

Interestingly. During my time in the navy, wearing a cover anywhere inside the skin of the ship was acceptable except for the mess decks. The reason for no wearing of covers in the mess decks was a sign of respect for the dead since mess decks on ships often server as a back up area for medical.
