chcole1 Posted May 3, 2011 Share #177 Posted May 3, 2011 Here are a few of my mystery tabs. Dominican Republic. Is it a US tab? If so, which patch does it go with? Germany tabs like the ones Tex posted earlier. I have a number of both red and blue but I have no idea which patch they go over. The white border glows on the back so I assumed they are from the 60s. Finally a Guam tab like Tex posted. Mine came over a Army Service Forces patch but the curve never looked like a good fit to me. Any info would be really appreciated.

Stuart GI Posted May 6, 2011 Share #178 Posted May 6, 2011 Army Band Tabs. The following band tabs are worn over the associated patches (I use the old designation for the NG patches to aleviate confusion): 23rd: Utah NG HQ 29th: Virginia NG HQ 41st: Mississippi NG HQ 73rd: Virgin Islands NG HQ 78th: 99th Regional Support Cmd 101st: Colorado NG HQ 129th: Tennessee NG HQ 191st: 63rd Regional Support Cmd 248th: Puerto Rico NG HQ 300th: 63rd Regional Support Cmd 313th: 81st Regional Support Cmd Hope this helps! -Ski p.s. The photo shows the reality of the situation, unfortunately. I am doubting that the tabs were ever worn with the patches (although authorized). They may have and a search for photos may show some..... Ski, SSI are not authorized for wear on the Army Dress Blue uniform. They are for the Army Class 'A' green uniform, so they would have been worn together then. Maybe there is an exemption for Army Bands to wear the tab on their blues.

GalaxyC5 Posted June 6, 2011 Share #185 Posted June 6, 2011 The patch tab shown by "Teamski" for the 31st Military Airlift Squadron was NOT offically worn be members of the squadron standardization. Our active duty sister squadrons, the 3rd, and the 9th Military Airlift Squadrons, had tabs. The 31st did not wear tabs! We were only activated for a couple of years and then deactivated right after the First Gulf War. The tab over the 31st patch looks like a 3rd MAS tab. Hope this helps.

Hello, I was a Crew Chief on C-5's, MC-130's and C-17s. I personally got this patch from the pilot on a C-5 I was launching while deployed to Dover from Travis in 1990 during Desert Shield. So, I am sorry to say, that yes, they did wear this tab. The tab is sewn onto the velcro with the patch. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GalaxyC5 Posted June 7, 2011 Share #188 Posted June 7, 2011 As I mentioned in my previous e-mail, IT WAS NOT OFFICIALLY WORN. During the first Gulf War, wearing just about any patch combination was fair game. We did not order patches with the Instructor or Stand/Eval Tabs in the 31st MAS. As I also mentioned, this individual on his own, probably put a 3rd MAS Standardization Tab on the 31st Patch. Unlike the other Squadrons who ordered the patches, and at first the tabs. Hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope this helps. I gotcha. He obviously went to life support to get the tab sewn on. The 31st had to have a Standardization and Evaluation section, right? We probably ran into each other at some point. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

noexpert Posted July 16, 2011 Share #191 Posted July 16, 2011 9th Infantry Division Combat Artist tab, 1968. These were approved for wear within the division...supposedly in the Orders of the Day according to our XO. This one is one of the first five I had made and the yellow is darker than the ones that were actually worn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
