I was wondering how to form the Ground Team Member beret. Yeah but I think only certain wings have it.

...there's a GTM beret?  You sure about that?  Last I checked, the only beret authorized for wear was the blue beret for attending NBB.

There is NO beret authorized by NHQ or in 39-1 for wear by groundteam members. The ONLY beret presently authorized in CAP is for those who attend the Blue Beret Encampment. Period.

And how!

Sir that's a negative in IN wing GTM2 and above are authorized to wear the beret. I can try and find the reg it may take a few minutes though.

1.  Pick up beret
2.  Place 3 cans of spam in beret.
3.  Put beret in garbage can.

Not saying it's right but he's going by the wing's regs.  Here's Indiana's supliment to 39-1

Isn't Amy Courter supposed to be verify the INWG supplement is authorized.  If not it definitely should be.  A wing commander isn't supposed to have that kind of power.  The supplement has restrictions on wear of the beret, but I'm still not liking it.

Well, if nothing else, we now have another Wing whose headgear most of us can hate.  PA is no longer alone. 

Too bad, I had been developing a lot of respect for IN Wing based on their tremendous growth rate -- I thought that they must have been doing something right.  Maybe the increased sunlight to their foreheads stimulated their brains into a higher level of activity?

On the positive side, their supplement does have specific guidelines for unit patches.

Well, before this turns into an "Indiana looks French" thread, can someone answer the cadet's question?

If you're going to wear it then wear it correctly.  Here's a page with a pretty good basic guide of what to do.

SSgt, thats a negative. Regardless of what "reg" you can find it violates 39-1 and is therefore irrelevant.
