How to season your beret:
1) SHAVE using a shaver/ CUT using a scissors the "hairs" on your beret. Try not to have excess hairs on it as it will look ugly and sloppy. [But do not shave till its "botak" haha]
2) Fold your beret [hmm I will show how to fold it during training: remind me!]
3) Finally, you can either iron or put your beret under an extremely object in order to flatten and season your beret.
--> I suggest ironing it first as its much faster and effective , then put the beret under a heavy object overnight~
and sooo, TA-DA you have a very nicely seasoned beret.
* Yep this is just a brief summary on how to season your beret.
Ok, so i hope this posts is useful for you! Or you can also refer to this post in the future if you have trouble about your uniform~!

So, remember guys that your RC UNIFORM are to be respected at all times. Do not put it on the floor, etc. including your beret! Hence, with this do your best and I expect a better standard of uniform next time!
