As of 29 June 07, I (and the rest of the class) am now a beret wearing soldier. No longer are wearing our Patrol Cap (the baseball style cap worn by recruits in training and other soldiers while in the field). We graduated from the introductory military training and have now move into Phase I of CH-BOLC. To prepare for the event we had to do the infamous duty of preparing the beret by shaping and shaving it. That's right, you actually have to shave the excess wool off of the beret. I've included a few photos to show me diligently trying to make my beret presentable. I'll try to get a snapshot or two of me actually wearing with my uniform in the next day or so. I'll keep this short for now. Don't forget to leave comments, or I'll get paranoid and think that nobody is actually reading this thing.
P.S. Our squad is not the same since our resident rabbi, 2LT Moshe, left after CIMT. We miss you, Mo! Stay in touch!

I like the beret! It really does look cool. Of course, it could be a Dr. Seuss hat and I would probably think you look cool.
I like the hat. Thanks for letting us crash there this week so I could spend the week with my husband. And you say nobody ever leaves you comments.... Andrea
