Re: SBS Poll

Voted no, like SAS and BRF, it should be open for anybody who is up to the standard. Why be shouldnt your be accepted because of cap badge / force.

Re: Para Wings and Red Berets

MAROON beret!!!!! Quite correct Eddie, but the beret is as you know, widely called "The Red Beret" and the Regiment "The Red Devils", a respectful name given to the para`s in WW2 by our dear friends - the German`s - "Die Roten Teufel" not the "Maroon Devils"....
