I was one of those people who wasn’t in favor of the Army going to black berets for everyone. Special Forces (Green Berets), Rangers and the 82nd were always a little more “special” looking with the distinctive beret headgear. USAF beret wearers are limited to Combat Controllers, Pararescue Jumpers and maybe some Security Forces types. I don’t know about the Marines or Navy but its still my humble opinion … let’s keep the “special” in special.
Have a great weekend and Happy Easter!!!!
All Air Force Security forces wear berets…. and they have a specialized one for the ravens… all the special forces wear berets too…
Yeah, I was never in favor of the black beret going universal in the Army, for the exact same reasons as you, Shep. The black beret signified something special. I was just a standard soldier, and was proud of my BDU cap. (The whole black beret thing happened sometime after I left the Army.)
