In the United States, a dispute arose about the correct wearing of army berets

60
In the United States, the possibility of amending the standards for wearing berets for military personnel of individual formations is being discussed. In particular, it is noted that the military "moved away from the uniform wearing of berets.

In the United States, a dispute arose about the correct wearing of army berets




According to the rules existing, for example, in the 3th brigade of the US Army, the beret should have a “beating” on the right side, and in such a way that the beret was partially pulled over the right ear and covered the edge of the right eye.

The US Army noted that tradition is tradition, and convenience is convenience. Many do not push uniform takes on the eye even during solemn (ceremonial) ceremonies. In addition, often military personnel do not make the beret a "statutory" hall with raising its front part (this is required to fix the cockade of the unit).




Statutory Beret Wear (Sergeant Russell Bell):


Disputes over wearing a beret began due to the fact that the statutory rules dictated the need to push the bearer to the edge of the eye for those who wear glasses. This led to a somewhat ridiculous version of the aforementioned crease of the headgear, and therefore those who wear glasses themselves began to abandon the charter option.


The command currently does not apply any sanctions to the "violators".

      This is all because he takes it wrongly worn, if he thought about the fact that he would be hindered by the glasses he would wear it correctly and would not disgrace the American Army if he remained in civilian life, then he would be alive now.
      But no, he decided to live on government grubs and after 20 years of masturbation in the barracks, he still began to receive $ 5000 a month, though he was not fartanulo and he was sent to carry democracy to Afghanistan, where rebels banged him for it.

    I do not know how the wearing of berets is regulated in the "foreign", but we have the first official berets appeared in the Airborne Forces. So our paratroopers do not regulate the wearing of berets in any way, because at one time General Margelov said: "He takes it dashingly on a paratrooper!" Found the following about our Airborne Forces:
    • In everyday wear, the beret breaks to the right, but for the parade at ceremonial events, the corner is changed to the opposite side and the beret breaks to the left. • For parades on Red Square, special mirror-cut berets were made.

      Well do not tell.
      In battle, the psychological impact on the enemy is also of no small importance.

      In the battles of the Great Patriotic War, Soviet marines covered themselves with unfading glory.
      “Black Death,” as the enemy soldiers called it.
      A distinctive feature, the "trademark" of these fighters, was a peakless cap and a vest.

      Even if the unit was dressed in a field infantry uniform, during the attack these attributes were displayed "on display" - the collars of the gymnasts swung open so that the "sea soul" was visible, and the helmets were changed to peakless caps, which is clearly visible on newsreels (0: 20 - 0:25).

      It produced an indelible psychological effect on the enemies.

        The modern field uniform is aimed at ensuring that not only do the units look the same, but even that the officers and soldiers are minimally different.
        You can’t scare anyone in battle with a cap or beret, but it’s more convenient to aim at the enemy

    Each has its own traditions. For example, the Celt looks wild on a peasant, but for Scots this is a sign of pride. I think it’s not worth it to so clearly judge others. Clown or not, this is an individual attitude. Moreover, most often if it is an enemy, it will always look like a clown. If yours, then it means that.
