Sew on looks better, lasts longer, ages with the uniform an in all reality, we don't change branches w/o changing uniforms today, and with the exception of a marital status change, no one changes their last name that often. Back in the day you got your uniforms issued with "US Army" tapes sewn on already.

Oh I agree with keeping the SSI and rank Velcro SFC (Join to see),this post specifically mentions the name and branch tapes. Lord knows any unit with a tab or the big-ass 1st CAV or 2nd ID patches were "fun" to sew on, then remove to see the non-weathered uniform underneath a few years later.

Sir, I have seen that and I laughed to myself when I did. However, if I was off of a Cav assignment I would just buy a new set. I am a E5 so I'm rolling in dough.

MAJ Robert (Bob) Petrarca in Puerto Rico you keep your last name when married, so it is a good deal here for SM who get married.

Sew on looks better. I do not like velcro because it wears out and too many times have we all "velcroed ourselves" to another ACU jacket with the guy standing/sitting next to us. One time I even took off another unit patch as I walked by another Soldier. Had I not notice this, he would have wondered where his patch went. I too would have wondered how I ended up with two unit patches.
