  Hail O' Hail O' Infantry
  Queen of battle follow me
  An airborne rangers life for me
  O' nothing in this world is free

  From a big bird in the sky
  All will jump and some will die
  Off to battle we will go
  To live or die, hell I dont know

  Hail O' Hail O' Infantry
  Queen of battle follow me
  An airborne rangers life for me
  O' nothing in this world is free

  Early at night its drizzilin' rain
  I am hit and feel no pain
  But in my heart I have no fear
  Because my ranger God is here

  Hail O' Hail O' Infantry
  Queen of battle follow me
  An airborne rangers life for me
  O' nothing in this world is free

  The mortars and artillery
  The screaming bursts around me
  Jagged shrapnel on the fly
  Kills my buddy, makes me cry

  Hail O' Hail O' Infantry
  Queen of battle follow me
  An airborne rangers life for me
  O' nothing in this world is free

  One, Two, Three, Your Left
  Hoo ah!
  One, Two, Three, Four
  AIRBORNE RANGERS LEAD THE WAY!

  
  sometimes me just wondered....y is there a need to sing in military...in wartime we would be busy fighting liao and eventually if u make it, good ,if not die only lor...either way singing is not an important factor on winning in war other than to 'moralize' soldiers for a while only....

  sometimes clerk or PA to commissioned officers also alot of paperwork to do. its not exactly an easy job. problem with the jockey cap is that ppl will think you are new and might bully you.

  this is what my friend told me. Military police are supposed to wear pink beret last time. Problem is some MP already looks like wuss and if they wear pink beret, they will look even worse. So now change to blue beret.

  Woah. Never heard about MP Pink Beret before. You can verify your friend's story or not, cause i dont think any of us ever heard of this story. Maybe MP guys can clarify on this?

   

  Anyway abt. kengkia's qn on rationale of singing. Morale is not something to be taken lightly. Singing in itself does not help men win the war

  But morale 'of the soldier is the greatest single factor in war' - Field Marshal Bernard Law Montgomery.

  Morale is not a 'quick fix' thing. It is not like Panadol.

  Morale is what keeps the fighting man going during combat. Without which, he has no guts to fight with.

  Singing helps pass the time and brighten up the already dark mood of combat. Easing things up is beneficial to the mental health of soldiers. (of course remember noise discipline)

   

  I hve lots to write on this topic, but yah, this kinda off-topic, so back to the beret problem.

   

  Personally, if someone looks weird in a beret even if it is seasoned, he probably looks weird in anything else, be it helmet or peak cap. But it shouldn't be a problem if the guy wears a seasoned beret and stands in a group.(Blending in to the surroundings) :)

  i prefer jockey cap! much easier to season...

  anws, i hav a size 7 3/4 jockey cap, (quite comfy loose fitting) , what size beret should i wear? cos currently it seems that my size 7 3/4 beret is too small...or maybe i pull the string too tight..

  Yeah the beret requires moderately good looks to carry off. Actually even the no.4 uniform as well.
