Red Beret?

Based on this newsletter: http://www.ncsas.com/file.cfm/media/cms/Volume_10_Issue_6_F08850B171936.pdf
I'm going to guess the guy on Page 2 is the same guy, and it's definitely a Blue Beret. That is an extremely freaky lighting phenomena, though.

What's the MouseWorks thing? The font/type style used, the "cute" icon?

The patch on the last page.

The two cadets are so close together that anything affecting him should affect her equally...

Not with today's modern cameras.....each pixel is processed separately.

The C/LtCol is wearing a pin that was last given out in 2007, I'm willing to bet that he got that beret in 2007 too.
It's probably seen a whole lot of UV during it's lifetime. UV that tends to fade colors...

The only problem with that theory is that red fades worst, first. Hardly any color fades to red. It's usually red fading to something else.

There's probably no abnormality with his beret. Just bad picture framing.

True but blue berets tend to go greyish and not red/maroonish.

2013-2007= 6. Don't you need to be 16 for NBB?

For real?? Is this really going on...

Considering I was maybe MAYBE 30 foot away from the formation when this was taken, he was wearing a BLUE beret.... The outstanding cadet in question was on staff and did an amazing job...

Anyone who thinks I would allow a cadet at NBB to wear an unauthorized red beret, or anyone on beret staff for that matter, is crazy...

It's a blue beret...

Im sorry.... did anyone ask for an eye witness account from someone who was there when this photo was taken and who knows this cadet? You are ruining everything.  Please step back and let us tell you what it was that you saw.  You are dismissed.

Yes because Eye witnesses are not evidence. We had a robbery suspect picked out by 5 individual unrelated witnesses and the DA didn't want to give us a warrant cause he hasn't confessed.

I think Flying Pig was cracking wise.

Maybe not, but I'm pretty sure.

Oh I know he was. I was just being bitter.

It is a blue beret he has on.

The pin is the small st albuns pin that was discontinued after NBB 2007.

I wonder where he got that    The larger pins first came out around 2005 IIRC.  I could be wrong, but I didn't think that it was an intentional change to the large ones, I think it was just made with the wrong dimensions and ordered in bulk.

Cops are always looking for a reason to vent

That could have been when they ran out of small ones.

There is a rumor that a SM Maj was known to be wearing a Maroon beret at NBB.


Of course, he was a former army type dude that wore it in the RM, and only used it inside for proper teaching techniques.

Careful there... Sergeant Majors have learned to spot uniform deficiencies at 100 paces- tiny text ought to be no problem for them

Edit based on the noise of the point flying right over my head. You said SM Maj, I saw Sgt Maj. My bad- obviously my eyes are ruined from the squinting you forced upon me.
