[QUOTE="truefiveo, post: 12749812, member: 105180"] They wear the Beret, because of an experiment during Vietnam, where the 82nd SPS was given training on par with the Army Infantry. They wore a beret to signify that they were one of the only combat arms units in the USAF, and it was blue because of their police origin. Over time as more units were given the same training, it was adopted by other SP units, until it was finally made official I believe in 1975. This is also, where they get the misnomer "Air Force Infantry". While they are not trained to the standards of Infantry units today, they do have similar training to that of Infantry units going to Vietnam. If anyone wears Berets like complete pizza chef looking idiots it would be these mostly Army personnel. [/QUOTE]
