Trying something out (headwear)

AirBORNE!!
Seriously, I think it looks great. Super conversion job too!!

I like the look. I also have a maroon balmoral because that's what my wife picked out for me. During our recent Irish Festival, some yakov smirnov started in on me about Airborne, clearly not recognizing my EGA badge on it. I think I need to pick a fawn or pony up for one or Ryan's bonnets in silver. I look great in the maroon, but I didn't think of the implications.

I am a retired paratrooper and there are no implications. Your Balmoral is just that. It's not a beret with flash and crest. You have simply chosen a bonnet in a color you/your wife like.

I wear a maroon beret with an EGA on it when the mood strikes me. I have worn it on Fort Meade, where I work, and gotten nothing but compliments from the many Airborne types running around loose there. As someone has said, it's just a hat. Now wearing the flash/crest, (or for that matter an EGA) without earning it? That would be another issue.
