Do you think the Airborne tab was ever thought as being a individual's tab skill identifier (instead of a unit tab)?

Thank you LTC Yinon Weiss just was always lingering on my mind since I see paratroopers in non jump units a lot and you can't really identify them other than their pretty lil wings lol

The tab over the patch identifying a unique aspect of the unit has never been thought of as an individual award. The Special Forces tab (as well as their green beret) and Ranger tabs are individual awards, and not unit specific. These travel with the soldier from unit to unit. A ranger scroll is a unit patch. The Special Forces Command unit patch has the airborne tab above it to signify the unit is in airborne status. Unit patches do not travel with the soldier to different units unless they earned the right to wear the patch through service on combat, which it is then work on the right shoulder. The lineage of these individual badges and tabs, as well as unit patches, goes back decades and has not been altered.

Of course I'm on my iPhone, hit post, and just saw the spelling errors. I wish there was an edit button.

The big difference between an Airborne tab and an SF/Ranger tab is that SF/Ranger tab is their only identifier (no badge), whereas Airborne wings identify the individual parachutist.
