  Last time in BMT, Jockey cap or rifle drop to the floor, I must knock it down automatically.

  Yes, a soldier should take good care of his personal rifle as you depended on it to fight and defend yourself. Dropping it certainly is not part of taking good care of it.
  
  As for the beret, it is more for honour and pride because the crest symbolises SAF and by dropping it it means SAF is doomed. Its the similar case with the SAF colours and of course our National Flag, we don't drop these as well.
