Green Beret 50th Anniversary
We went down to Bragg for our son’s graduation from Q Course. He started this journey as an 18X a little over three years ago. The 18D and Arabic language courses really stretch the training out. It’s been a very long journey and the attrition rate has been exactly 80% from the time they started Infantry School to graduation. Only 5 of them made it to the end (or the beginning as it is more appropriate to call it)
The ceremony in celebration of 50 years of wearing the Green Beret, was very nice with Ross Perot dedicating a stature of JFK and Yarborough discussing the head gear. Each graduate had his named called and was handed his beret by Perot. They then returned to their seats with the beret in hand and on command put them on.
