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.
The first two females to wear the green beret in the United States Army were Captain Kathleen Wilder and Captain Kathleen Scudder. They successfully completed the Special Forces Qualification Course in 1980 and 1981, respectively, thereby earning the right to wear the green beret.
As far as the US Army goes, all soldiers wear one, ever since the adoption of the black beret as the standard headgear in 2001 (the black beret was previously worn by the Rangers). Currently, the black beret is general issue, Airborne units wear a maroon beret, the Rangers wear a tan beret, and Special Forces wear a green beret.In the Air Force, berets are worn by Special Operations personnel, Tacp personnel, and Security Police.Additional:in the British army green barrets are worn by the royal marine commandos.the army/air corps wore bluethere was also an SAS sand colour and rifle green, dark blue, maroon and khakiand the Royal military police wear red barretts.i think that's right.
He wore the Green Beret-Lesley Miller
I thought it was brigadier general McDowell of the 1st Infantry Division.
either the seals,navy, or marines or military people in Iraq who r geerals or somthin Special Forces wear the green beret. Paratroopers wear the red beret. Until a few years ago US Army Rangers were the only ones allowed to wear the black beret, but in a controversial decision all US Army personnel were given the black beret to improve their morale. To placate the Rangers they were given a beret of a different color, tan or khaki if I am not mistaken.
Now this is a vauge question. Green Berets can wear sunglasses, Yes. If you are talking about glasses to improve eyesight then the answer is Yes and No. If youre vision is 20/20 with glasses then yes you can wear them but only if you are willing to get them dirty!
There are no female green berets.
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.
In the year 1961, President Kennedy authorized the wear of the green beret for Special Forces soldiers. At the event that this happened, President Kennedy delivered a speech whereby he made the green beret a "mark of distinction in the trying times ahead." The Green Berets became a very real distinction of excellence among special forces at that very moment.
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.
