this one has been doing the rounds since the eighties, getting a boost with the introduction of the red beret for PA's. rumour had it that logs would be getting grey ones, and so on with the colour coding to follow the same set up as the brits. I even heard stories from those involved with clearing out the old group stores when clancy closed, that there was a stock of approx 2000 grey berets being movedCRIME SCENE INSTIGATORComment

There are only 3 people in the ARW. They just move so fast is looks like theres more of them.It is only by contemplation of the incompetent that we can appreciate the difficulties and accomplishments of the competent.Comment

Heard that the RDF are to get a different colour of beret, as the danger wing are not impressed that both their and the RDF beret are similar. Then again I don't think there is any danger of the both being confused even if they had the same beret.

Peaked Caps for all ranks with the SD No1s
A Coquette(? one of those feathery things) in the beret representing unit/bde
Senior NCOs wearing a sash in the Bde colour
Overseas service for the RDFComment

Peaked caps for SD no 1's is a definite proposition
and the sash for Senior NCO's has been tested
still waiting the results
I reckon for SD No 1's
we should revert to the slouch hat worn by the Irish Citizens Army during the 1916 rising
