Can you wear your Marine unit patch as an Army combat patch if you deployed with the Marines? Policy appears to say no.

Army is good with patches, ribbons, badges, all sorts of gee daw....they get a ribbon for everything. I never wore a single unit patch on Marine issued uniforms.. in any of the divisions, regiments etc.. I did server with Army units and never wore any of their trash and trinkets, although we did raid my dad's WW2 stash and Screaming patches.

I'm a 12-year Marine who turn National Guard I see no disrespect and respecting someone else's patch I don't really know that situation but because they respect the Marine Corps patch you don't have to disrespect the Army patch some people appreciate the difference I'm just one of them

Read ALARACT 178/2010. If you were your Company or higher than NO. If you were by yourself attached to their HQ, then YES.

I never looked up the regs on whether or not I could wear the 1st MAW patch or not. I did a tour in Nam with 1st Maw and I wore the patch when I joined the Army National Guard. Nobody seemed to care. Then one day a Captain came up to me and asked me where I got the patch. I noticed he was wearing a 1 MarDiv patch. He said he wore it because he couldn't find a 1st MAW patch. I told him where I got it. After some 20 years I got a tour to Iraq and the new Army patch took its place; however, I wore the 1st MAW patch for the entire tour until we were authorized to wear 3 different patches (2nd CAV, 15 Sustainment, and 115FA) The entire time I was in Iraq, many people saw my Marine patch and nobody said a word, including many colonels and a couple of generals.

That is correct but I think you can wear medals that you have earned. Check on that one. Too many years ago.

The fact that this was posted anonymously bya LT should speak loudly. He/she have probably been around the Army what aweek, and dont know their head from their ass.

You are authorized. Also to get your panties in a bunch. If you are Marine Infantry and have a combat medal you can wear CIB or the medal. But not both if you transfer to the Army from the Corp.

Don't matter with your sleeves rolled up like some fry cook

We don't have unit patches in the Marine Corps. They started in WWII and went out shortly afterward. The thinking was/is all we need is the EGA, and I agree.

Marines do not wear unit patches. Units do have patches, or shields, but we do not out them on our uniforms. So, why would a soldier want to wear a patch on their uniform if the Marines s/he is serving with isn't.
