The Beret should be eliminated, its the most stupid "cover" ever devised. A Beret does not provide protection from, wind, rain, or sun. It is the "cover" preferred by troops trained in surrendering like French and British troops. Men do not wear Berets. The Marine Joint Chief threatened to resign if Marines were forced to wear these.
@Ifall4you94 You can go to basic training if your 17, but some branches require a high school diploma. My advice would be to wait until you graduate. You will go in with more rank, pay, etc.
@F35FLYER This is by far the strangest question I have received in 5 years. If it breaks, you get new ones. They rarely break though. Mine have been going strong for 8 yrs with no problems
@mvolkin Oh my friends brother had this happen to him last year and I never heard what happen after it. I plan on making a career out of the military so I figured I might need to know for later on. Thanks :)
I was told you have a second one for your boot, because in the case of an IED, you may not have that leg anymore, and they'd want to identify whose foot it is.
Personally, I am going to listen to the man who has been through training and who is addressed as Sergeant Volkin. Also, I know that this does not apply to everyone who is saying it is a corporal insignia, but for the ones that think they know which rank is displayed on that cap because they played Call of Duty, fuck off... Thanks again for another informative video Sergeant.
@kangaroomohawk Sorry bud, better luck next time. It's a Sergeant Insignia. You count the chevrons not the spaces. Do the world a favor and don't try to enlist. Please.
I don't understand how you could just simply pull the dog tag off by blunt force because those connectors on the string takes a lot of force to break, or do you use the easier way by sliding the string out from the open gap on the connector.
It's not. A lot of people get this confused. You have to count the number of solid chevrons, which would be 3 in the case of the rank device on Sgt. Volkin's boonie hat.
ill be leaving for baic soon, so i asked my father about the 2 dog tags he spent 22 years in the army, and in the field if you die and it's hard to get your body out they will take one tag with them and the other will be placed in your teeth and kicked it to make sure it does not get lost when they can get your body out chains can brake
Hm. I've never heard that explaination of why there is two tags. I was always told that at B.A.S.'s and MASH's, they stick the small chain around your toe... good videos! keep it up!
They're all the same. Except some people will have red ones because they're allergic to something like penicillin. Also some dog tags might have notches in them. Most people in the Marine Corps wear the second one in the laces in one of their boots. Usually always you will never see anyone wearing dog tags on flight lines.
ehm another question again if everybody is seeing you rank udn a super ultra mega sniper is seeing you wint he shot you with the higest rank ? but this only if your just not in a hot zone
You can't really recognize rank from the range a sniper would be at, even if he had a high mag scope. The rank devices are designed so you have to be like less than 8 paces away to recognize it (since if it's an officer, you salute when 6 paces away).
What about the CUNT Garrison Cap? Russian and Chinese wear them and the cap looks sharp. It fits easily in your pocket.

In the Air Force, very few units wear the beret. The rest of us wear our BDU field caps.
It's not something to really worry about, those of you who haven't jet joined. You will be briefed on uniform standards during your basic.
