Good Job Nick.
Hope you like it. I just got my call for the regs. As for the beret,
you have to cut a piece, which is big enough to accomodate the cornflake.
There should be a Leather back around the place that you slit open. But the
advice about not doing anything until your told is good. If you haven‘t been
shown how, they can‘t jack you for it. Anyway, best of luck with BOTC and
your Phase training.
