I see people all the time with rank and name tapes sewn on. <br /><br />I&#39;m pretty sure you can sew on rank to the boonie cap but I have rarely seen that authorized for wear. Not in any unit I&#39;ve ever been in - not even when I was deployed.

Whether it be garrison or field uniform, the PC is separate from the top blouse/combat shirt. <br /><br />For an ACU top, if you sew on the rank, your nametapes need to be Sewn on too. However, that doesn&#39;t apply to your PC; your PC can still be pin on rank and velcro nametape. Likewise with the combat top/ velcro nametapes and a Sewn on boonie hat.<br /><br />Whether or not your Company Commander authorizes it in the field is another story.<br /><br />Chapter 4, Section 10e, <br />DA PAM 670-1, 26 JAN 2021 SPC Private RallyPoint Member Tue, 15 Jun 2021 19:11:06 -0400 2021-06-15T19:11:06-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/can-i-wear-a-boonie-hat-with-a-sewn-on-rank-with-a-combat-top-that-is-not-sewn-on?n=7049229&urlhash=7049229 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes you can, but good luck getting the commander to let you wear the boonie. <br /><br />We’d rather just have troops get skin cancer than authorize it most of the time it seems. Probably why I spot a ton of nasty basal cell carcinoma on the ears and on the backs of neck in the VA. <br /><br />Makes no sense not to allow the boonie to be worn in extreme sun and heat.
