anyone attached to SAS wear the sand beret, like anyone attached to Airborne wear maroon. SF sigs only get SF pay if they pass UKSF selection, I also think they are mega strick in only allowing lads who have passed selection to serve. If SF sigs get into 264 proper and want to goto 22 as a trooper they can only do so for 3 years and then they have to revert back to 264. One of the quirks of Hereford. (This was the case when my mate was there in the mid nineties but maybe different now)
I nearly got sent to Hereford sickbay via 59 for an attachment and got told I'd have to wear the sand lid with naval capbadge, didnt matter though as I didnt go. I also think the figure on the capbadge has a small strip of harry black across its eyes
anyone know what this new units beret colour is going to be?
Royal Sigs
If you are referring to the SRR, the answer is they are wearing the Sand Beret with the Corinthian Helmet badge. All attached ranks at 21, 22 and 23 wear the Sand beret, whether they have done selection or not.
