I rather liked the “c**t cap” (garrison cap), myself.
Pracical, compact and looked damn good with a slight cant.
No way we can use that, now.

Yep. Had that one, too. I, um, never heard it called that, though. I must’ve always been in “polite company,” LOL!

The thing I hated about the beret was the big old brass medallion you had to wear on it. It tarnished easily, and since it was a cut-out of an eagle and some other junk I don’t remember, it was a PITA to clean with Brasso. I mean, there was serious drinking to do on the weekends...and there I was, in the barracks, polishing that stupid thing with a q-tip because the three hundred thousand cut EDGES on that medallion needed to shine, too!

Really, really stupid. Plus, the medallion glinted in the sunlight to the point where you could blind a person, and it made it very easy for a sniper to take a head-shot, LOL!

It’s that the same as a “piss-cutter”?
