Remind me again, please? What does the word "uniform" mean?

While we have some berets, I avoided them

Thank you for your wisdom 😜

Berets are not practical for the field or training environments.  Even the military recognizes this.  Here's a blurb from an old Army regulation: "Soldiers will not wear the beret in field or training environments, or on deployments, unless authorized by the commander. Additionally, if the commander determines other environments are unsuitable for wear of the beret, such as on work details, the commander may direct soldiers to wear other appropriate headgear."

Basically, berets are a decoration.  In the immortal words of Sweet Brown, "Ain't nobody got time for that."
