What does Patch actually say ?

Another school was established in Hawaii 15 years later, but there Is no Jungle Expert badge/patch in AR670-1 nor AR600-8-22 Military Awards. Of course there was that whole Operation Just Cause thing.<br /><br />The TIOH is down so can&#39;t check the official To from dates...<br /><br />EDIT: the Jungle Expert Patch and the current Tab are locally authorized insignia and are not recognized Army-wide, only within the command that issued them. US Army Pacific authorizes a tab.

They tried to run it in Hawaii, but different jungle, higher costs, etc made it unfeasible. SGM Bill Frazer Wed, 18 Dec 2019 14:07:38 -0500 2019-12-18T14:07:38-05:00 2019-12-17T22:56:39-05:00
