I have looked several times and can't find were to place the ground team and observer cloth badge on my BDU's.

Any help or information on were I can find it would be helpful.

If you wear cloth aeronautical and specialty badges on the BDU/ blue BDU remember these tips:

Fold over the edges of the cloth so that a 1/8" border surrounds the badge, then sew it down. The 1/2" spacing is measured from the pocket flap; however, multiple badges (no more than two; chaplains can wear three) are spaced 1/2" apart from insignia to insignia, not from the border. And remember that aircrew wings outrank groundpounder badges. (Only chaplain insignia goes above the wings.)  ;D

Don't you mean the "CIVIL AIR PATROL" tape?

What are you smoking?
In fairness, that used to be permitted. However, the last reference I found to it was in the June 1991 issue of 39-1. Definitely not a current allowance.

Its two, period.

Not two + a subdued military insignia snuck between or below.

And its one of each - aeronautical & specialty.
EMT=GTM/L/BD/IC = military badge.  You must choose only one.

You are allowed to wear two sets of wings, but only if one is a military set, and then that's your "two".
