The great beret appreciation thread!
Since the US army has banned their standard, black beret from daily usage, a lot of commotion has been going around, with people in favour (or not in favor) of wearing the distinctive, wool headgear. This thread is for all of those who wish to show their units or countries' berets, either used in the field or in barracks. If this thread already exists, please let me know.
Ill start off
Canada:
US Air Force
US Army:
Dutch army black (recce), green (SF) and maroon (airmobile bde):

Here's my beret I used to wear 1980 - 1990 in the Bundeswehr (German Forces).
Black = tank
the little yellow needle = signals
I was the signals platoon leader of our tank battalion

My 1st..
It started out with a 6th SF(A) flash and later the 20th SF(A).
The bars have lost their silver and are now brass.

Old-school Swedish Marine beret.

^^ I have a Kustartilleriet challenge coin (with the 4 regiments) that goes with your beret. It was given to me in 2005 by a Swedish Marine Lieutenant.

Were the Rangers the only ones to wear black berets back in the 80s?
G-AWZT, yes. (not to exclude the OPFOR units at NTC and JRTC.) HM, notice the TACP airmen in "blues" in the background of your photo.
Russian interior ministry special forces maroon beret :

That first image, is it not unusual for the beret to fold that way?
Yup! Saw them, but I decided not to mention him since he almost out of the photo. Oh well, they gotta get better PAO.Originally Posted by haze99
