does anyone know if there is a requirement to where the ES patch with the dog or plane? and where should it be placed?
You need to have an ES qualification above GES. Not Trainee. You need to have fully completed the SQTR and been approved. Consult CAPR 35-6 for more information.
The patch is optional and, if worn, is worn 1/2" above the nametape on the bdu or field uniform, or on the right breast pocket of the flight suit or utility uniform. Consult CAPM 39-1 for details.
Go with the T-34 patch, looks more professional and Vanguard is reproducing them now. If you want a puppy patch, PM me and I will send you one for free(I dont care for the thing)
Please, for the love of god, don't. If you want people to know that you are ES qualified, wear the appropriate badge over your CAP tape. If there isn't one, then suck it up and keep your 101 card handy.
