Side note : Back in the day everyone had the beret but you were either a candy striper or a full flash.

I remember it this way: - SF qualified and assigned to Group = full flash w/DUI (EM) or rank (Ofcr)
- Airborne qualified and assigned to Group = Recognition Bar ("Candy Stripe") w/DUI (EM) or rank (Ofcr)
- Non-Airborne qualified and assigned to Group = OD baseball cap w/rank and DUI (EM or Ofcr)
- SFTG = baseball cap until completion of Ph1 - beret w/DUI (no recognition bar or flash) Ph2 and 3 - beret w/full flash upon graduation
But the policies changed many times throughout the years.
