There could of been differences in 68 than 78 about the candy stripe. We could wear it if we competed Phase 1. Then when we finished Phase 3 we were awarded full flash. At the time I was in the 11TH SFG. To be quite frank I never saw a candy stripe at Bragg any of times I was there. I only saw them back at the unit. In my case Tappen NY. Around there the NQP'S wore soft caps. When I got out of SF in 2007 the NQP's were still wearing soft caps unless they were in class A's Then they wore Maroon Berets. The Support Guys wear Maroon all the time in garrison. 1. Reserve trainees at Ft Bragg wearing the RC “candy stripe” after completing Phase I. 2. 7th Grp HHQ Clerk (Leg) wearing the green beanie w/7th group “candy stripe. *photos are from 1966/67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ranger-1972 Posted January 24, 2022 Share #5495 Posted January 24, 2022 This may be from the movie, Diary of a Sergeant, in which SGT Russell starred in 1945. He went on to win the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1947 for the 1946 movie, The Best Years of Our Lives. Russell actually won two Academy Awards that night -- the only person in history to do so. The other award was an Honorary Award for being an inspiration to all returning wounded veterans. Russell went on to earn a business degree from Boston University and to be the President of AMVETS three times. In 1964, he was the Chairman of the President's Committee on Hiring the Handicapped.
