hink441 Posted May 20, 2016 Share #127 Posted May 20, 2016 Here is a couple of nice Navy jackets that a friend recently found for me. These are becoming harder and harder to find. The jackets still have the laundry tag stapled along with a NAB ( Naval Amphib Base) bar code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martinjmpr Posted August 1, 2016 Share #137 Posted August 1, 2016 It's Training and Doctrine command; I believe the Ranger school is there. I'm pretty sure Ranger School cadre wear the "Follow Me" patch of the Infantry School. EDIT: DISREGARD. I see I'm responding to a very old post and this was already addressed.

Martinjmpr Posted October 6, 2016 Share #142 Posted October 6, 2016 5 stripes would be a TSgt (E-6.) The "Let's Roll" patch looks like an unofficial "morale patch." Some commands allowed these to be worn, others didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonomachi Posted July 6, 2017 Share #147 Posted July 6, 2017 I was going through some uniforms and came across this odd woodland camouflage pattern BDU dated 1990. My guess is that a retired marine joined the California National Guard Reserves which would explain the USN/USMC paratrooper wing and the Thai marine paratrooper wing.

turko Posted July 22, 2017 Share #148 Posted July 22, 2017 How do you get to be a general in an infantry division and not have a combat patch, skill awards, or any tabs? Or do you think he just decided to not put them on his uniform for some reason? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolunteerArmoury Posted July 22, 2017 Share #149 Posted July 22, 2017 How do you get to be a general in an infantry division and not have a combat patch, skill awards, or any tabs? Or do you think he just decided to not put them on his uniform for some reason? Easily. The BG was a National Guardsman. BDU could've been from early in GWOT & not yet deployed (or retired before he could deploy). Some NG & USAR units don't get School slots. Neither the NG Infantry Battalion not Cav Squadron I was in hadn't even had EIB testing supposedly since the 80s. Reserve Component units didn't always get school slots. I understand that's improved. Of course the BG may not have been a combat arms guy which could attest to no tabs or badges. Of course there's always the chance he chose not to wear them but I bet it's simply because he was NG.

This is a correct assessment, for I know who wore the uniform (a friend) and was VARNG his entire career. Former CO 1st BDE, 29ID (L). I also have another set from right at the time he got the star- you can see where the COL and 116th IR crossed-rifle tabs were sewn on, removed and replaced with stars. Pretty cool.
