Because if the support people wear tan berets, how can we tell who the  real SOF folks are?
The Assaulter badge?

We can't even standardize the tan berets. Army wears tan beret in DEU, while RCN/RCAF can't. I can't remember if RCN/RCAF MPs can wear their red beret in DEU.

If CANSOF is a separate L1, then have all mbrs wear the tan beret with whatever DEU they have. Or have everyone in the CANSOF DEU.

Dealing with CANSOF supporters can be a real test of patience. Anyone who does so successfully should get their own badge.
Them circa 2012 Jamaica: "I can't tell you what I do, it's SSSUUUPPPEERRRRR secret!"

Me: "Nice CANEX wrist watch cover, nerd!" As I sip down my rum and coke at the local night club 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Dead on... the awful Ulster accent alone is worthy of a lawsuit.

But that's never stopped the BBC in the past...


BBC does one of greatest war heroes - Blair Mayne - a 'massive injustice' in SAS: Rogue Heroes​


A Northern Ireland museum curator believes SAS Rogue Heroes – the BBC drama based on real events – has done one of the country’s greatest war heroes a massive injustice.

David McCallion who runs War Years Remembered said the six part series exploring the origins of the SAS, co-founded by Ulsterman Robert Blair ‘Paddy’ Mayne, was “entertainment not education”.

David said: “Yes it’s a drama but I feel that it was a wasted opportunity to highlight the real men behind the SAS as well as Blair Mayne, rather than the fiction written by certain authors in the past.

“It has done one of the greatest war heroes to leave our isles and his family a massive injustice.”

With him taking command, I’m curious if season 2 will work to shift this at all..?
