Having Served in the Reg Force, and now as a reservist, I can understand the animosity that some people here have towards teams wearing insignia and what not that they haven't "earned". There is a lot of pride in earning your proper cap badge and not have to wear the corn flake, just like there is pride in earning your jump wings, and beret. However I fail to see how someone wearing a maroon beret, and T-shirt that isn't "qualified" detracts from your accomplishments. You know you are qualified, and you earned your right to wear the hat.

I am also a member of 6CBG and wear my Maroon Beret with pride because of what it is meant to represent, a homage to the Canadian Airborne Regiment and the soldiers that served in that unit. Not a single person that hasn't actually earned the accoutrement has ever claimed they have and would never out of respect to those on my team that have. If you have a problem with this PM me or PM any member of 6CBG and they will tell you the same thing. We do it with respect and if that isn't enough for some then well we can't make everyone happy.
