Strange.....back before the "Army of ONE....nobody said....

" I earned my Camo hat or Cunt Cap....Hummm....now people are saying they "earned their beret". No shot on you, Newbie...drive on and do your job. Glad you are proud of what you did....you should be.

People around this hood get some touchy when Black Berets are spoken of....yes they do and yes they should.

I'm curious, did you know anything about the Regiment or RIP prior to accepting an assignment in Germany?

I would encourage you to find all posts pertaining to RIP by CDWDirect and read and heed.

Thanks for serving...

Welcome, good intro.

As you can see, the Beret that you consider yourself earning is a very touchy issue around here.

I earned my Black Beret in '88, before it was issued.

Am missing something here? I thought Benning was only Infantry basic?
