patches Posted September 11, 2018 Share #1 Posted September 11, 2018 A quick question, did officers wear those Navy shoulder patches on their Dress Uniforms?, IE the Navy Amphibious, Seabees, The PT Boat, Mine Sweeper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearmon Posted September 11, 2018 Share #2 Posted September 11, 2018 I don't believe they did, only Enlisted did on Jumpers, not even sure CPO's did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted September 11, 2018 Share #3 Posted September 11, 2018 I don't believe they did, only Enlisted did on Jumpers, not even sure CPO's did I have a WW2 Chiefs with CB patch. Not sure it was official or done for the ride home/end of war deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share #4 Posted September 11, 2018 Strange that officers of these units would not wear them right, i mean why not, they had unit pride too. Would there bbe a regulation some where prohibiting officers, is there a regulation come to think of it regarding the wear of them in general. Warner's books which I have might say something on this. like a BUPERS or something, but I don't feel like looking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
