"nice black army hat"...

Airborne were REALLY ****ed when they made those black berets standard Army
issue.. they had been for a very long time the most recognizable symbol of
Army Airborne, and they wore them with great pride, much the same as the
Special Forces Green Berets..


I was just reading your post again, are we talking about the same
thing? This is a baseball type hat. It is black and in an embroidered
white on the bill it says "U.S.Army." At the top of the hat it says
the same thing and below it in gray - the Eagle with the arrows in the
left talons and on one quarter of the side of the hat on the right in
a darker hue of gray is that same eagle only bigger. Then it has the
white US Army on the velcro part that is adjustable which is cool
because usually I have to cut that part off because I have an
extremely big head...but it fit perfectly.


I believe she's talking about the beret.
