The origins of the Green Beret are in Scotland during the Second World War. US Army Rangers and Office of Strategic Services (OSS) operatives, who underwent training from the Royal Marines were awarded the Green Beret upon completion of the grueling and revolutionary commando course. The beret was not authorized by the US Army among the Rangers and OSS operatives who earned them.
Special Forces Major Herbert Brucker was behind the beginning of the green beret designation in the year 1953. Brucker began the designation which would later be realized by First Lieutenant Roger Pezelle who adopted it for his highly operative A-Team called the Operational Detachment FA-32. Rapidly, this little green beret would be seen on the members of the special forces units whenever these soldiers went out into the field. However, the US Army was not keen on making the green beret an authorized entity at that time.
It was to make everyone look better and improve moral. i dont think it worked cause some lazy ones complained about having to wear the beret instead of there old B.D.U. caps.
A Jamaican can join the US Army if they have a green card or they are a naturalized citizen.
Beret's are between 20-30. Anyone in the army is age-eligible to become Ranger qualified. Doesn't mean everyone who goes through can pass the training though. Don't know about SEALs and Delta Force. They are the grizzly old vets though so they're probably older.

He was a Green Beret in the US Army.
To my knowledge no. The Green Berets are Army Special forces and without enlisting in the army you wouldn't be able to join. A possible exception to this may be in the Delta Force. But the Marines recently made a special forces unit just as good if not better than the Army Special Forces. Keep in mind though that any special forces training is ridiculously hard, usually requires you to have field experience, and often times people come to you instead of vise versa. So its not really like just signing up for the swim team.
This is a very special award. JFK authorized the Green Beret in 1961. Approximately 85 men have been inducted into the US Army Special Forces Green Beret Hall of Fame as of summer 2012.
Issued by the US Army (purchased in the clothing sales department actually); authorized by President Kennedy. During the Viet War ONLY THE GREEN BERET were authorized the beret. Today everybody can wear them, in different colors too.
46 US Navy SEALs and 834 US Army SF men (Green Beret) were killed in the Vietnam War.
There are roughly 4500 estimated Green Beret soldiers. it is said that the Green Berets make up less than 1% of the US Army's population.
Colonel in the US Army. He was also a Green Beret.
The Delta Force is with the army so Green Berets would be best but the rangers wouldn't be bad either
You can enlist with a Special Forces contract aka 18X. However, this only guarantees you a chance to train into SF. If you pass the training, then you are placed into a SF unit. After that, you normally spend several years in SF before you try out for Delta. If you pass Delta selection and and all the subsequent training, then you are assigned to an operational team within the unit.
