What is the correct way to wear the female beret?
First of all, the Corps and Navy female beret is semi-rigid (non-collapsible) and is not the same as the Army style flat or collapsible beret. It is not recommended to flatten or roll your beret in a manner similar to what Army personnel do, as this will damage the beret and therefore make it unserviceable. The beret should be “smooth” and pill-free, it should also not have dimples and divots in the material. According to CC26.3.5, “Uniforms for Female Officers,” “Wear the beret toward the front of the head, approximately 3/4 inch from the forehead hairline, and tilted slightly to the right. Align miniature-sized cap device insignia above the left eye.” If you have a receding hairline, you do not wear the beret further back on the head.
