Women in the SF

Regarding the discussion on US Army Special Forces, and woman wearing the Green Beret. I have not known of any non-tabber wearing a Green Beret. They wear the Maroon Beret indicating their airborne status. If a memember is assigned to an SF unit in an administrative function or as a filler. They have to wear the maroon beret if they're airborne quailified or the BDU/ACU soft cap or Black Beret if they're not. This is the first I've heard of a female airborne student switching out headgear to wear the Green Beret with flash. She should have been wearing the Maroon Beret indicating her airborne status with the SF unit flash attached. I am a Special Forces 18B weapons sergeant and have 30 years service. I find it very hard to accept the way the Army of One is going and the changes to tradition. It all started years back when everyone was given leave to wear a beret.
