Title: NCSA patches
Post by: ZombieButter on July 12, 2012, 08:55:02 PM
I see that on vanguard there are patches for NBBA and Engineering Academy. If you graduate one of these academys, where on the uniform would you put the patches?

Unless otherwise directed, Top left BDU patch or left shoulder IAW (In Accordance With) CAPM 39-1.

Looking at 39-1, it says that the patches needs to be on the right shoulder, but isn't that where the flag goes? I thought the right/left shoulders are reserved for the wing and flag patches.

I see now, it doesn't mean arm.

The way it USED to be wing patches on Left Shoulder, NCSA on right.  Then Flag comes in and moves NSA to chest.  Now Wing patches only mandatory by wing supplement, so may put a NCSA patch there,if not occupied by wing patch.  Clear as mud?
