[Gung-Fu]

Ok. Dumb question. What is that red thing on Beachheads shoulder? Is it a piece of cloth??
Just curious!!
Thanks!!

I think it's a beret.

[Greyryder]

The red thing? It's a beret, rolled up, and shoved in his epelet.

When did the US military start letting anybody but Army Rangers wear berets?

[Elite Force Cobra]

Yeah the entire Army wears berets now. Air Force Security Forces does too, but they have for longer... i think.

Plus Beachhead is an Army Ranger. So there you go.

Back in 2000 it was announced that the Army will go to the Black Beret, on June 14, 2001 (the Army Birthday) it became the official headgear for Soldiers. The Ranger Battalions switched from black to a tan beret. The Maroon beret is for Airborne units and green for Special Forces also as a side note tankers were the first in the Army to have the black beret.

@Mech-Grunt - are you part of the 1st Infantry Division? Just curious.

[Cannon Fodder]

Nice to know. Thanks. People on this site ROCK! I need to place an order to Marauders for some berets now. Help me out, what Joes need them?

[Snake Eyes-Joe Ninja]

I thought you were funny Amberbratt.

I always thought the red stuff was just cords or special red rope or something. Beachhead has made the comment he likes to hog tie people.

Nope... Sorry.

[jdmountford]

I remember watching when the Army decided to go with Berets for all. Special forces troops were ticked. THere was a big brewhaha about whether it should be done or not.

I don't know why maybe its the Perv inside me but I always get a chuckle inside me when someone claims they want Beach-Head or a Snow-Job.Kudos to the marketing guy from the 80's that brainstormed those names they get 2 pats on the back :P
