Talk:Special Forces Tab

Good idea about the category, but I still feel a direct link to the main badges list is needed. I put it back in the article User:Husnock 13 Jul 2004

Removed Nonsense About the Green Beret

Although the SF tab is worn on the uniform outside of SF assignments, that doesn't apply to the Green Beret so I removed that erroneous statement. Even in the cited reference it states (emphasis added):

DA Pam 670-1 dtd 26 Jan 2021

20-4. Berets

(2) Green beret. All Special Forces-qualified personnel carrying CMF 18 MOSs, to include 18A or 180A and CSMs reclassified from 18Z to 00Z, are authorized to wear the green beret. This includes Senior and Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) instructors and those attending training in a student status (for example, Command and General Staff College, Defense Language Institute, or the U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy). Special Forces personnel who reclassify to another CMF continue to wear the green beret until a new MOS or branch is awarded. Those in CMF 18 who are filling a drill sergeant position will wear the drill sergeant hat while assigned to a valid drill sergeant position and actively training Soldiers. Soldiers awarded the Special Forces tab, but not branched Special Forces, will only wear the green beret while assigned to a Special Forces unit or position'''. Special Forces personnel will wear the approved flash of the unit to which they are assigned. Special Forces personnel who are assigned to an organization without an approved flash will wear the generic Special Forces flash (the flash approved for personnel assigned to Special Forces positions, but not assigned to Special Forces units).''

In any case, the page is about the SF tab and NOT the Beret. John Simpson54 (talk) 02:39, 21 August 2025 (UTC)
