So, for all of my fellow aviators out there, are you still wearing your company patches on your A2CUs?

We are trying to bring back the wearing of our Unit Patch on our A2CUs here at Fort Irwin. I have friends in the 1st CAB at Hood who wear their patches every day. Anyone else run into something similar?

The only place I've worn one is on the back of my helmet in Afghanistan. My understanding is that it's a local policy. I don't see the harm in it. There are, of course, those patches that have risqué mottos on them though...

We haven’t been wearing them with in the OHARNG. I know if left to a vote, the formation would overwhelmingly choose to bring them back, but the Senior Enlisted corps in our state has been a strong opponent to the idea. Some of our guys did overseas, but we haven’t resurrected a Command Supported Policy. It has been more of “do what your career can afford” wear policy.

Im out now so I guess no options apply. I know in my unit they were authorized for deployments but not garrison. Although I wasn't aviation... ha missed that part.

I know 82nd CAB, 2nd CAB, and 3rd AEB recently just brought theirs back and we're looking at doing the same in Japan.
