what in the world??? US Flag patch

[Eclipse]

Clothing has never been an issue - by design it is all coming from the same handful of vendors.

The issue is ribbons and decorations which the Hock has produced by knock-off vendors in the PAC-RIM.

I ordered 60 of these patches from AAFES at only 0.80 a pop.  I figured that much would last us for a while, but I'm already sold out.  Selling them at a clean buck per patch both saved our members money from most retail prices and helped put a few pennies away for other supply losses.

The AAFES patches were of good quality and color thread, and look fine on the uniform.  I haven't heard how the other ones are working out from other vendors, but for only 80 cents, with no tax and free shipping -- it's a hard bargain to beat.

Most personnel in my squadron have already sewn on the patch and the few remaining late adopters seem to mostly be people who already had a right-sleeve patch and are wondering what to do now.

I've asked Knowledgebase twice now about whether or not the US Flag Patch is to go on the BDU field jacket as well as the blouse.  No one has deemed it necessary to give me a definitive answer yet. 

The CAPM39-1 says the same accouterments on the jacket as the blouse, but the memo that came out does not mention the jacket at all.  Anyone hear anything definitive either way?

[MIKE]

Put it on the field jacket also.

Put it on the field jacket also.

Well thats a strait answer. 

[Nick]

Yeah, I concur with that one.  Everything you find on a BDU shirt goes on the field jacket (minus the different placement of rank insignia).

[Eclipse]

Same goes for the inverse of the wing patches being optional.

I recently heard about the American flag patch thing in my Squadron. Why are we getting it? Isn't only the army that had that patch? Last time i checked we were not the army.

NHQ says we get to wear it. They have not seen fit to justify their decision, so, salute and execute.

Of course it is.  Your nametag isn't going to change magically.  Once it's been engraved it's not going to change.  Out status could change, but that wouldn't affect the nametag you currently own.

Otherwise...don't fret it.  "Salute and execute".

Please note: the new nametag, at least for Semembers rid the USAF Aux portion.

I assume youre talking about the two-line  blue nametag for the new distinctive uniform?

[Matt]
