The wearing of Green Berets, "Full Flash" "Candy striper", Marron Berets. et al is very time specific.
At one time like the late 70's everybody in a Group wore a Green Beret. Those who had completed the Q Couse wore the full flash, while non SF qualified folks wore a small bar of a portion of the flash - the Candy Stripe.
Shorthand lingo in a conversation would/could use the term "Flash Qualified".
