to start off , I am NOT SF!
Ok, now that i have cleared that up.. Whats up with the SF guys and their barrets? They all look like ****!!!! its sad to see the AF guys next to their Army partners and the armys barrets look sharp, and the air forces guys' looks like a$$.. i dont get it.. theres this one guy that wears his barret on the side of his head.. Covers his entire right eye! the kicker is his weapon is on his right thigh. Interesting.. Just a pet pieve of mine.. Its like some of the SF guys wake up in the morning, look in the mirror and say to themselves, "yep, my barret looks Amazingly retarted, time for work!" /end rant |

I'd rather we wore field caps, but that's another topic all together.

HEY LOOK EVERYONE, ANOTHER IDIOT TELLING US HOW TO DO OUR JOBS!!
My daughter wears a barret, I wear a beret. Mine looks fine, thankyouverymuch. Whats up with MX guys and their uniforms? Hows come they all look like crap? Whats up with other AFSCs coming to our forum and breaking bad on us? Where is the righteous indignation? And furthermore, A1C Schneider, if you have a problem with the way an SF troops beret looks, I suggest you man up a bit and ask him or her, to their face, what the deal is and why they look like Tony the Pizza guy, instead of hiding behind the internet. They may not be aware that it looks so poorly, and they may thank you for it. On the other hand, they may beat your ass... And K9, I agree COMPLETELY. Keep the beret for blues, gates and special occasions. |

At Minot our wing commander made it mandatory for ALL cops to wear the beret while in base. So if im going out to the missile field I have to have both on me. Kinda stupid but whatever

Wow...glad to see all the nuke issues (non security related and security related) have been solved that he has time to strap this one on. In any event, the largest issue with the SF beret is the s.h.i.t.t.y manufacturer. If someone decent produced it, it would look half way decent when you put it on. |

As long as we are discussing aesthetics, downsize the flash a bit...it doesnt need to be 8x8, you know? Let it ride a little lower, almost like the Brits do... |

Why yes, there IS an AFI on how to wear barret(tes) and a beret. It's called AFI 36-2903 "DRESS AND PERSONAL APPEARANCE OF AIR FORCE PERSONNEL."
Perhaps you've heard of it? So, to answer your question, SF guys really should not be wearing barret(tes) since they are authorized only in the W-Women Hair style. But SF gals can:
Since you are asking about berets. Even if - as most of us have mentioned - you don't know how to spell the word. The rules are:
Reading is fundamental. So is spelling. This message has been edited. Last edited by: FrankJamison, |

to start off , I have never was in a services squadron!
Ok, now that I have cleared that up.. What’s up with the cooks guys and their hats? They all look like ****!!!! its sad to see the AF guys next to their Army partners and the army’s cook hats look sharp, and the air forces guys' looks like a$$.. I don’t get it.. there’s this one guy that wears his cook hat on the side of his head.. Covers his entire right eye! the kicker is his spatula is in his right hand. Interesting.. Just a pet peeve of mine.. Its like some of the services guys wake up in the morning, look in the mirror and say to themselves, "yep, my cook hat looks Amazingly retarded, time for work!" I suggest you get use to saying, "Would you like cheese with that." Grow up dude! /end of response |

wow.. You guys are pretty touchy, i guess maybe i came off a little harsh with my question.
I appologize for not spelling "beret" correctly. I will go through and check my spelling from now on. And I have asked him about his beret. His response was "This job sucks, I dont care what my beret looks like". I asked the TSgt in charge of STAR training, and he said that there is no clear-cut way on how wear the beret. And i will agree with you when you say most SVS personell look like A$$. 90% of SVS has NO military bearing, and Dont really care what they look like. This is why i am cross-training. I was never saying every SFS personell wear's their beret wrong or like A$$. Just alot of them on Ramstein. But then again, most SFS guys here dont like their job anyways, so thats prob. why. Didnt want to start any bad feelings or anything, just figured i would ask a question. next time i guess I will think about how I ask it for a little longer. v/r A1C Schneider |

Uhhh, State, I havent seen an AF cook in forever...they are all silly-vilians now (SVS troops are "too valuable" to actually cook now...). You are showing your age |

Not touchy, just proud. And you said "Whats up with the SF guys and their barrets? They all look like ****!!!!" Now you say you didnt call us all out? If this were a court of law, you would have just perjured yourself...(Help me out civilian Coppers...I got that right, right?) Dont x-train into this AFSC. And Ramstein has some of the proudest SF troops I have ever seen. I spent 3.5 years training them, and although there are certainly some slackers, there are also some of the finest SF troops in the AF there. Maybe next time you should ask something like "Hey guys, few of the Cops I see wear the beret in a consistent style, and some are quite frankly, dirty and unserviceable. Is there an AFI that direct the proper wear of the beret? Just for my info?" Or just stay out of "our" forum. |

Just thought I'd give the guy a taste of his own medicine, since he is a services troop. No more airman cooks?? Is there anything that’s military in the AF anymore? Civilian cops, civilian cooks, what’s next civilian base commanders |

You got it right, Johnny. 3MX, regardless of what that airman said or what his beret looked like, the fact remains, he drew his weapon from the armory that day, stood his post and ensured your safety on base that day. Maybe he was one of the few that enlisted open general and got sent to SF and that’s why he said his job sucks. While I'll admit, I don't know what that feels like, since I was one of the "crazy" ones that actually only wanted SF when I enlisted. Either way that airman does his job and that is all you should be concerning yourself with, not on how his beret looks!! |

We have civilian unit commanders here at Eddies...one even had charge of a formation awhile ago for a change of command. How far off could it be? |

I believe they're Directors and not commanders. But more importantly they do not hold UCMJ authority. |

You are correct on the term...but they fill the same role. For the most part their units are civilian anyway...

Understood.
Just clarifying for those who haven't had the joy of being at an AFMC base. I was at Tinker many moons ago and when the Center CC changed out we even had a "formation" of civilians. The "uniform of the day" was black pants and white polo shirts. |
