Congratulations.
Well done, may I wish you well in your hopefully long and satisfying career.
I have a question, and that is how come you don't wear head dress until after the swearing of your oath?
I presume there is a historical/traditional or ceremonial reason for this?

I presume there is a historical/traditional or ceremonial reason for this? because prior to swearing in, you cant wear the beret that has the gold bar on it bc technically, you arent a 2LT until you take the oath of office. this is just done on the day you commission, prior to swearing in. normally, as a cadet you dont wear a beret... u just wear your patrol cap with your cadet rank on it. officers wear their rank on their cover, enlisted wear their unit crest.

You know, for a brief time, Armor and Cavalry troopers wore the black beret. I wore one at Ft. Knox. In most nations, armor wears the black beret. But the Rangers complained about it, so we had to quit wearing them. Now the Rangers have tan berets and the whole darned Army wears black berets. Personally, I prefer the patrol cap, which is nothing but the old Korean War era fatique cap that the Rangers called a patrol cap. I like the boonie hat even better. Or, as the Army officially calls it, "Hat, Sun, Hot weather, type II". Not too good with Class A uniform. A Stetson would be nice for that, if you're cavalry. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.
