First, massive WTF @ Army. Seriously, I'm gone for 3 weeks and everything I know is a lie. It took 20min of shift with everyone looking at me like I was crazy to realize that none of them were wearing berets anymore. I think the Army planned to switch to patrol caps right as I went on leave just to fuck with me. Jerks.
Apparently I missed quite a few little things aside from the hat change, but nothing of legitimate importance. I had an awesome time down in Oklahoma. And visiting family too, right! Spent time with a lot of awesome people- I'd say even made up for the fact that I was in a state several times inferior to New York! (very high praise). Gonna have to try to get leave again first change possible and spend some more time with silver. Kinda depressing flying back, but I guess I missed my job. 3 weeks of not being able to issue tickets is a long time; was going into withdrawal.

The worst part was that people didn't know how to wear it and didn't care that they looked like shit. I also disliked the airborne style of wearing the beret. Now we will have idiots walking around with their hats Ranger Rolled. I never understood that nonsense.
Sometimes I liked to wear the beret because of the feel. And when our LTC put out that we had to wear sunglasses for formation the lack of bill wasn't much of a problem. I do like the PC but I much rather prefer the bonnie cap. If you are going to protect yourself from the sun, you minus well go all out. :Þ I have also learned that it is useful in the winter as well. It helps to keep the snow off you. :Ð
...Right? D:
I meant you WILL be visiting us again, right? D:
It is still in use for ceremonies and service uniforms (Class A/B).
