| The Germans actually many differnt color berets. Maroon - Airborne/Aviation/KSK Red - Artillery/Engineers/Communications (signal)/Intell/Psych Ops/Anti Aircraft/Supply/NBC/Electronic Warfare/Transportion/Topography/ Black - Armour/Anti Tank units Green - Infantry/Mechanized Infantry/Specialized Infantry/Armoured Infantry/Ceremonial Guards/ Military Bands Blue - Medical That is not the only way to see what there branch is though. Each branch has there own Beret device that is worn on the beret. The Devices are wreaths with some kind of motive in it. For instance the device for Airbone Troops is a wreath with an eagle diving through it.

| Senior Member | Canadian beret colours (which are still near identical to the British): Rifle Green (or CF Green) - infantry/artillery/engineers/signals/logistics and support Maroon - paratroops Black - armoured Scarlet - military police Tan - special operations (JTF2, CSOR) The Navy wears black, and the Air Force wear postman blue berets on occasion, in addition to their sidecaps. SAR techs wear blaze orange. Last edited by Nonskimmer; 01-04-2007 at 11:15 PM. |

| Senior Member | They ain't too cool in the middle of August. Hotter than hell, actually. I much prefer the ballcaps we get to wear aboard, or around the dockyard. Ah, Navy. |

| Wore the thing back and forth to work for the most part. We were probably one of the slacker trades in the forces for spit and polish Last edited by pbfoot; 12-31-2006 at 09:50 PM. |

| Senior Member | You can't get much slacker than submarines, for dress. Berets have been authorized for back and forth wear for years now. Almost a decade now I think. In fact, I think the Army did away with the forage cap completely. Berets only. |

| Senior Member | God, I couldn't imagine having to wear a beret in the Australian heat! Mind you, I've seen pics of the fellas in Afghanistan with their berets on. Man, that must be uncomfortable. Still not as hot as Australia I'd imagine. |

| Beret is ok for base. Give me a nice floppy bush hat any day for operations. Comfortable, stick muck in it for camo, wipe sweat off. Keeps the sweat out of your eyes. Sweat rag round the neck and a good bush hat. Lubly Jubly. And it depends on night time and day time temps what you want to be wearing. A good black wool beany hat was always in the belt kit as a part of the survival routine. Say what you will, but if I can keep me nut warm I can think. If I can think, I can survive. And I have picked up a few non thinkers before now.
