At least with the ABU they got on the "right path" by authorizing the minimum number of stuff to sew on.
They could reduce further by dumping the sleeve and collar grade insignia and just go with grade worn on the front of the blouse like the Army does with the ACU.

Much rather have my Rank/Branch back on the collar but to each their own.

I've always liked the old Army officer insignia on their BDUs (not ACUs) with their grade on the wearer's right collar, and their specialty on their left.

Me too.

They may not be required in YOUR wing, but they are required in many other wings. FYI, all of the Wings in Pacific Region require wing patches.

Cite please. I didn't know that to be the case.

..and even if it is, unless those supplements are re-submitted, it's not.

As to the above insignia, it needs to be run by whoever did RMR's to get the scrolls done properly - so tired of otherwise decent insignia left "unfinished" because they were done in Paint and the artist doesn't understand how to shape text properly.

Artists don't use Paint, Word or Publisher. Amateurs do.

The RMR type isn't as good as it could be, either, though it's a far better example than many. Some of the problem is type choice — the Air Force has standardized that fairly well with a Century alphabet — and some of it is just that you have to hand-align every letter on some occasions, especially where letters and words break on the point. It takes someone who respects type and has the right tools to do that.
