Hello!

 

What are the differences in the wear of these 2 patches? I have 2 uniforms - the blues and the greens of a Marine with 2 different shoulder patches - one is 1st MAC arty and one is arty FMF PAC...so this makes me think that unless he was transferred to a similar unit in the Pacific -maybe these 2 types of patches (MAC and FMF PAC) could be used interchangeably, for example FMF PAC HQ and/or MAC HQ?

 

I also have an Marine officer's uniform - please look over these assignments and tell me which patch you think is possible. I want to determine if the patch is original to the uniform or not.

 

His assignments:

 

14 ReplnBn (is this a replacement or replenishment bn?)

4 B. Regt. (what does this mean?)

3 B. Dept.

HQCo, 5 Fld Depot

5 Fld Depot

 

The listed "primary duty" at each/all of these assignments was "COMD"

 

Would the patch be FMF PAC or MAC?

 

THANKS!
