I know what my Ranger friends will say about the tan vs. khaki berets but what do you think about Cav Scouts having the "new long tab". Personally I don't feel that it should be above the SF but the Rangers, Sapper, and President's One Hundred maybe. Let me know what you think

NO- that is what caused the beret problem long ago and only SF kept their berets!! Grunts' other MOS's do not get tabs/Berets of different colors. Units do (ABN/RGR/SF) not MOS's

Having been cav, there is only one acceptable head dress. Stetson with cav sabers and appropriate hat band color

The stetsons and spurs should be enough. Tab and beret? I don't think so.

I'm a medically retired Scout, I agree with the tab(if they would do a school for it, like sapper has and it shouldn't go over the sf or ranger tab, any other tab yes) but I think we should keep with the stetson and not switch to a beret. it is a MOS not a special skill. Send them to a recon training and a special training school then give the tab. The training should involve air assault and airborne. being a Scout is tough and we do do a lot more then most but is still a mos. Its kind of a mockery for the special communities and for scouts to have that.

The "distinguished Infantry items" were given to acknowledge the sacrifices that Infantryman made because we needed a boost in moral. When no one else wanted to be where we were! Now your Garrison training sounds top notch but this was made when 100,000 of grunts were dying.

SSG (Join to see) I totally understand the infantry items. This post started out as a joke from an article - http://hitthewoodline.com/military/cavalry-scouts-awarded-tab-and-beret/ - many read it and took it hook line and sinker. The RP admin rephrased the question thus making this look like a serious question. I think I might of fragged myself with this one. No disrespect to infantry or any tab wearers -
Cavalry Scouts Awarded Tab and Beret | Hit The Woodline
United States Army Cavalry Scouts will finally be given the distinguished headgear and shoulder tab they have long argued that they have not only earned, but also deserve.

I understand your view point.my father was an 11bp with the 173rd airborne in Vietnam. the infantry has paid dearly in blood for this country. but so has the cavalry. like you infantry we have been in every major fight this country has been in like you grunts. so why is it people seem to have an issue with us wanting recognition for the blood weve spilled serving this great nation.

I knew this was baloney. First bullshit flag was "the newly designated 75th Battalion, 1st Special Cavalry Scout Forces Group". Now that's funny. I guess my sarcasim did not regesiter. I by no means was dropping coin here as I know my Ranger and SF friends are the true tab's. This was more directed to the 19D's out there. However for those of you still not sure about the new tab I also have a brand new set of canopy lights for sale. They're the new LED ones.
