Challenge Accepted. I have ordered a beret from ebay and will post pictures as soon as it arrives.
ReplyDeleteI'm willing to start saving (the grey check sounds intriguing) but I have to ask: I'll be able to pick up girls in the checkout line at the grocery store, right?
ReplyDeleteWorks anywhere! Not just the grocery store.

I accidentally dropped mine in a farm pasture once, tried on 3 before i got the right one.... ;-)
ReplyDeleteNow there are some added "fine points" to wearing a beret. First I should tell you not only is it the beret but the "tude" like you are in command and take no prisoners. It also helps to smile and appear friendly. I also have a small American Flag Pin and often get asked did I serve, which of course I did. So it is a lot more than just the $16!

So once it's on your noggin, does it matter which side it points or "flops" to? You know, like how wearing an earring on the left vs right ear can mean different things. You wouldn't want to send out the wrong signals ;)
DeleteHmmm. I wonder if my old maroon beret the army issues me would work? Now, where did I put it.
ReplyDeleteYes Preston, airborne berets are acceptable. That's my plan too. AIRBORNE!
ReplyDeleteGentlemen, I am reporting for duty with my Beret and Soldering Iron.
