We had patches for AWS (Air Weather Service) and MAC (Military Airlift Command) but a unit patch would be cool.

I didn't like the point that Marines had to have name/branch tapes. Our covers and rolled sleeves easily identified us as Marines. As for Division patches I no we only have 4 divisions your either at Camp Pendleton Camp Lejeune or Okinawa. Unlike the other branches that have more divisions and are stationed all over the country.
