USAficionado Posted January 27, 2016 Share #1 Posted January 27, 2016 Hi all, Sorry if this is in the wrong place. I'm very new so I was wondering if anyone could tell me what these patches mean. They are on a Desert Storm Era M-65 Field Jacket. Thanks:) -USAficionado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gomorgan Posted January 28, 2016 Share #4 Posted January 28, 2016 It is a 1st Lt. but I do not ever remember seeing an officer wearing hand sewn insignia on his uniform, I'm sure it was done but I do not recall it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B229 Posted March 9, 2016 Share #8 Posted March 9, 2016 Although I can't imagine why someone would fake something like this, ARADCOM headquarters was inactivated 4 Jan 1975 and the SSI was cancelled on 30 Jan 75. The Woodland Camouflage pattern Field Coat was not adopted until 1982. So, there's no way that SSI could have been worn on that type of coat.
