When you see a soldier wearing a messed up beret what do you do? Does it bother you?

Well we obviously dont have berets in the Navy, but, if someone looks like a soup sandwich, we all have a duty to make sure that we are all squared away. We are all a reflection of each other.

On the spot corrections are authorized for anyone to do. Even lower to higher when done with tact & respect. Don't leave your buddy in the wind help them out .

The beret looks horrible on the majority of Soldiers. I contribute this to the berets you can find at Clothing Sales. The excess material on berets in my size do not drape enough to go past the top of my ear, which is out of regulation and I've seen the same for many other Soldiers.
I've started telling people about inspection ready berets. You might have to try a couple sizes because it runs pretty small. I would wear a 7 and 1/8 if I purchased it on post. I bought a size 7 inspection ready beret and it was still too big. I ended up getting a 6.75 and it fits nicely and the excess material actually goes over the top of my ear now.

On the spot correction. What bothers me is when I see a jacked up beret (or the wearing there of) when in a formation and no one has already corrected them.
