Why does Recce wear black toque's?

[Lightguns]

At one time in the PPCLI they were wearing Brit smocks in the field and garrison, so a black toque is minor.

I remember that and I remember so wanting one but the course was hard to get on.

The Brit smocks were authorized by Niner in 2VP.

In 96/97 we were told "no black neck warmers" but that rule was ignored as well.

I see Recce qualified guys wearing black toque's. Why is that? What's the history?

Sigh.

They are taking the piss out of you, OP.

Here is what happened; they lost their green toques. You want a new one? Fill out an LSR/MLR. That takes time and is too much trouble, so they took their so-dark-green-it-looks-black DEU toques. Lose that, no biggee, you can order two a year from Logistik.

It aint Bristol-fashion, but it beats freezing.

Of you want; they saw the Force Recon guys in Generation Kill do it and thought it looked cool.
