Is this just occurring on FT Bragg? What are your thoughts on branch patches? Where in the regulations does it state this is authorized? Would you like to see this practice go Army-wide, where all Soldiers get to wear a branch patch?

MPs and CBRN are not wearing "branch" patches. They are wearing patches that signify their "duty" such as CBRN operations and MP operations.<br /><br /><a target="_blank" href="http://www.armyg1.army.mil/hr/uniform/docs/CBRN%20ALARACT%20message%20195-2008.pdf">http://www.armyg1.army.mil/hr/uniform/docs/CBRN%20ALARACT%20message%20195-2008.pdf</a>Response by 2LT Private RallyPoint Member made Aug 4 at 2014 1:04 AM2014-08-04T01:04:17-04:002014-08-04T01:04:17-04:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member573709<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I think we should go back to wearing branch insignia on the collar of the uniform. I was not in while that was in practice, but I think it is a great way to find common ground among fellow Soldiers. <br />I am a Forward Observer in a light infantry battalion and I am very proud of my MOS. I love my infantry brothers, but it is nice to run across other FiSTers and be able to share stories with guys that have similar experiences.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Apr 5 at 2015 10:09 PM2015-04-05T22:09:57-04:002015-04-05T22:09:57-04:002014-04-10T21:46:11-04:00
