I earned my Beret is 1979 and had the honor of being told to "Don Berets" by Colonel Ola Mize, December 19th 1979. He was in charge of Special Forces Schools. In 1981 Katie Wilder wormed her way into the SFQC Officer's course
in 1981. I understood at the time the Q Course tried to drop her for honor code violations. That didn't work and after a court battle she was awarded a beret.

I also uderstood Colonel Mize retired, rather than award her a beret.

Soon after that the elisted and officer SFQC were combined.

I was in C-2-7 from 12/79 to 2/85. Anyone else out there?

I'd like to here from my old Team Sgt Baldy Ramirez or my SGM Bill Spurgeon.

Those were great times.
