Wow, thanks for making me aware of all the contradictions I have made. It was a long day the day I wrote that becasue of exams ;D. Anyway, just to clear up a few things. I would prefer to go through ROTP because I plan on going into medicine so the less schooling I pay for now the more money I...

Thank you Sgt. Papke: My CO told me that my beret was fomed perfectly, so I appreciate you help Cheers!

Hello: I am new to this forum but I wanted to ask a quick question with regards to the beret. I was told by my CO to rinse it in warm water and squeeze it out until it is just damp, I was then to form it on my head which I have done. I was also asked to cut out the lining too. After following...
