So I posted a picture with my beret and found that there is a few different opinions on how one is to wear your beret. My first duty station was Bragg and wearing a beret was an art form there. I have seen others wear their beret and look like a cast member from Myth busters.

How do you wear yours?

They should go back to patrol caps for everyone other than Airborne, Rangers and Special Forces, in my opinion. General Shinseki never should have changed this.

I respectfully disagree. I like the beret because I think it makes a much more professional appearance, but I too have witnessed and been frustrated by many jacked up berets. The proper wear just needs to be properly taught and enforced by NCO's just like any other uniform item.

I copied and pasted my response to to SPC Erich Guenther's comment above because I'm a typist of very limited skill, but I respectfully disagree. I like the beret because I think it makes a much more professional appearance, but I too have witnessed and been frustrated by many jacked up berets.
