What is the correct placement for the Airborne, Air Assault, and AFSC functional badges on the Air Force OCP?

Trying to figure out correct placement of airborne , air assault, and AFSC functional badge on Air Force OCP. I see the AFI say only two worn on the left. I can’t determine if the third would go over my name tape or what. It’s typical to see the functional badge and airborne on the left. But where does air assault go?

When I was assigned to Germany back in 2000-03, I worked with an Air Force Nurse that had a few Army badges. He wore the functional badge on the left breast pocket and the army badges above his US Air Force name tape. But, if you are to wear both the Airborne wings and the Air Assault wings, go by the Army standard for placement in which the Airborne wings will be worn above the Air Assault wings and both are placed above the name tape. I hope this helps.

If the AFI says "two", then you wear only two. I'd pick parachutist and AFSC. Parachutist on top. Or alternate between Air Assault and parachutist among uniforms, but always wear the AFSC badge. I think the space on the right is reserved for the "Command" badge unless it goes on the pocket flap.
