About Us:
The Beret Reinstatement Committee (BRC) is a working party established for the purpose of the reintroduction of (Rifle Green) Berets as allowed at the permission of the Commanding Officer, Major Williams, according to the Army Dress Manuel. This committee was established on the 6th March and will be disbanded upon the achievement of our above stated goal.
How can I join?
Direct expressions of interest to the Chairman of the Committee. Volunteers will be required at a later date for a planned petition distribution. While all years are welcome it is required that you be a current member of cadets.
How to Wear a Beret:
The beret is to be worn with the band level on the forehead and level from front to rear on the left side. The lower edge of the band is to be 2–3 cm above and parallel to the eyebrows. The crown of the beret is to be pulled down to the right and the Corps, regiment or unit badge is to be positioned vertically over the left eye. The badge is positioned centrally on the backing provided with the lower edge 1 cm above the band. The beret is not to be carried tucked under the epaulette, through the belt loop or in pockets when it is not worn. The ribbon within the band is finished in a small, neat bow at the rear of the beret. The bow is to be sewn to the band.
Chairman's Notes:
The turnout for our first meeting was good however please ensure that you show up on time. We had a few disturbances with standing members arriving part way during discussion of the 2nd item today. We will also host the next meeting in better order and establish a research team to find the necessary information for the first part of the document we plan to send up to the powers that may be.
