HEAD GEAR
BERETThe beret is worn so that the headband (edge binding) is straight across the forehead, 1 inch above the eyebrows.
The flash is positioned over the left eye, and the excess material is draped over to the right ear, extending to at least the top of the ear, and no lower than the middle of the ear. When worn properly, the beret is formed to the shape of the head; therefore, Cadets may not wear hairstyles that cause distortion of the beret. Officers wear their rank centered on the flash. Enlisted cadets wear their distinctive unit insignia on the flash |
PATROL CAPThe ACU Patrol Cap will be the only headgear worn with the Uniform.
Cadets will wear the ACU Patrol Cap straight on the head so that the cap band creates a straight line around the head, parallel to the ground. The Patrol Cap will fit comfortably around the largest part of the head without distortion or excessive gaps. The cap is worn so that no hair is visible on the forehead beneath the cap. Sewn or pin on rank is worn on the ACU Patrol Cap The Velcro area on the rear of the cap will remain blank at all times. |
