Army Beret

[medallion]

Just bought an army blue beret.

Any idea on how i should season it?

[currylicious]

i 'season' mine by putting under my bed mattress..

my fren more extreme, place at the btm of his wardrobe :laugh:

[martinchua]

under OA pc?

See how gilat you want it to be, and to what extent you want it seasoned at your own inconvenience.

What i did for my main one .... everyday i will wear, and keep pulling till i'm satisfied with the beret. [Mostly a little slack on the left side for some 'hair space'] Every night i'll put it under my bunk bed and go to sleep.

I trimmed out the inner layer so it isn't smelly as well as easier to season.

After your beret has the basic shape, then just keep it under a PC or many books for around 2 days at least, so you can see the defined line. From then on just season by placing under the bunk mattress [if you even have a bunk la] and taking it out. Over 1-2 months your beret will be seasoned fully. Then don't need to press it that often as the shape will not be lost easily.

guards dont wear beret at commissioning parade. cos their conversion course is only after they commission as infantry officers then go change de. so only got armor and commando wear black n red beret nia.

no sir, I've got a 2SG convert who commissioned as khaki. =)

[oshortkid]

trust me its all worth it. the 2 hours parade would be the best time of your life. but of cuz, the 4 weeks afte that to get the khaki beret is a freaking hell. i would say its even worse than the 9 months of ocs. perhaps only the jcc would be tougher than that.

[takeshi_lum]

i seasoned mine under the bed too..

just fold it n keep it under ur bed for 2 days or so should be enough..

[nutcase23]

3 mths under the bed. make sure you put it in between some papers or cardboard unless you want your beret to look like a waffle :D

still remember the time I and buddy used our mattresses as a giant iron (lol) to press our parade uniforms :D

Desperate times call for desperate measures :lol:
