Dr. Zook Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Does anyone recall an enlisted women's cover being a beret in 1984-1987 time frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 For all the “dinner dress” uniforms, which I’m guessing most enlisted never own. Now imagine a tiara version of the Dixie cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sure hope so. The beret is stupid! Doesn't block sun or rain and most personnel don't know how to wear it correctly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JFWIW I agree that berets are stupid headgear, I don't care who wears them. Sort of a beanie on steroids, but useless for anything but a status symbol. If I were Special Forces type soldier I would be grossly offended by every other military group that wore them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She just came to the realization that it wasn’t a bad dream, last night really happened and there’s photos to prove it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She’s upset because there are no drinks. …and she’s headed for a secluded weather station in the North Atlantic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the beret is stupid headgear for any US military group. Proper for French lounge lizards of the 40’s & 50’s and no one else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
