Jim, there is a certain ... savoir faire ... about berets, but with respect to
your senior leadership, they SHOULD have gone with the traditional colour codes.
Black is armour, khaki is infantry, green is commando, dark red is airborne.

Are the Marines going to the beret as well, or are they staying traditional?
Methinks that this change will inevitably result in some monumental bar frolic
in the near future...
