How to shape a beret to look Army Airborne style?

Q: I found a beret at a local army surplus store is it possible for me to shape it like an Army Airborne beret
and if so how?

A: You do not want to get one that is too small, they compress and tend to hurt. Wet the beret, put it on your head, shape it, put clothespins and boot bands on it and wear it for about an hour, then let it dry, and you should be set.

Does anyone know how the Swiss do their serial numbers for their soldiers?

I have an old swiss army backpack that starts off with these numbers on the back
293 64.356.119
The 9 also looks slightly like a large lower case g. I got this at an army surplus store. I wonder too if that is someone's phone number so does anyone know how they do their phone numbers in Switzerland? It has 6612 Ascona written very boldly on the bottom and Ascona is highlighted and I now know Ascona is a town.

WHY DO AMERICAN MILITIA GROUPS THINK THEY CAN START A REVOLUTION TODAY?

It would never work,,At least not in todays time, Its mostly Because most militia groups are people that have zero or very little military experience and could not shot that broad side of a barn if they were standing 50 feet away. SURE!! You always see the pictures of the Militia dudes holding guns with bands of bullets strapped around their shoulders dressed up in their camos that they purchased from the local army surplus store but if it came down to a real fight most of those pusses would run with their tails between their legs. They don’t know the first thing about recons, Reconnaissance missions, teams, or takeovers. 99% of them are all plain simple ammeters that like looking tough but down deep in their belly’s are indeed pusses. I like to compare them to the typical street or hood thug, or gangster, they act like (they have game) wearing their gang colors and scaring everyone in the hood but the second you take them out of the hood and put them into a military uniform and wisp them off to the middle east in a war zone they would turn into a baby crying for their mama within hours after getting there. This is why your typical revolution will never work.
