Women wearing the maroon beret!!!
I just seen a picture of a woman wearing the Paras beret. She did not have the cap badge, but had the exclusive piece of head gear. How did she get one of these then???
It was a pic of a bunch of paras and soldiers (2 were women) with berets on but not the capbadge with Tony Blair.

The regiment I'm going for, Royal Artillery, allows gunners to opt for para training, they have to do P company and the jump course. They then earn the maroon beret, but wear with their own cap badge. They are then attatched to a Para battalion, providing Artillery support. REME and RE can do similar courses. Women aren't allowed to opt for para training in RA, but they might be able to in REME or RE.

we have a unit in aldershot called "para provost" and even they wear the maroon beret, as is the norm they have completed the all arms course first and although im not knocking them for what they have achieved by becoming para provost they are looked down at somewhat by the old and bold of the royal military police who think that we should never wear any colour but red on our heads, myself i was happy in my air con police car and not in a hole in the ground but hey, it takes all sorts
