But if you transition to the Army from the Marines you can wear your unit patch if you were deployed. I sure they are some other refs but that the barney style version.

[~780254:LCpl Victor marines aren’t authorized to wear an SSI-FWTS when they switch over. That being said I know plenty who do wear the patch and most people don't care.
In 670-1:
(5) Personnel who served in a designated area as a civilian or a member of another Service, but were not a member of the U.S. Army during one of the specified periods are not authorized to wear the SSI-FWTS.

I heard Marines dont wear patches cause it got to confusing when they were issued used patches from the Army , when you got a squad with 4 diff patches it wasnt good

My combat Patch was earned on August 23, 1968 at Duc Lap Vietnam. I was in the Mike Force unit relieving the camp that had been surrounded by the NVA Army, with my fellow Green Berets and Montonyards. It was a life saving event and I will remember it always and the men who served with me and didn't come back. God bless America and the Army Special Forces.

173rd Airborne Brigade has not deployed since 2012 otherwise I would have been triple airborne. Better get my wheelchair before I retire.

I rock my 2nd Mar Div patch, as I started out as a Marine Grunt and deployed as such, wore it from the first day that I crossed over to the army. It's been disputed as to whether or not a a Marine who crosses over is authorized to do this, but as a CSM once told me "I'd like to see someone try and take it off of your arm". All in all, I've never caught any Shit about it. I would rather rock my battalion emblem (as Marine Grunts identify battalion as opposed to division) but alas, No dice

Many of the older soldiers in my Army unit were authorized to wear the 2nd Mar Div patch as part of TF Saber and the liberation of Fallujah and Ramadi.

But that CSM has a point and I don’t think anyone is gonna take it off your shoulder.

18th airborne corps. Not exactly the most hardcore patch but I always thought it was pretty cool. This is my patch of choice for my right sleeve.

The 6th ID patch. You were a "Jumping Jew" if you were Airborne.
"Screaming Hebrew" if you were a leg

I wear the one on the left. It is the 525th Military Intelligence from my first deployment. I didn't have the second one but a team from 10th MTN wore it. It is the approved patch from the the 10th MTN Long Range Surveillance Detachment. They deployed with us to iraq. Very few people even knew about the unit. It is a small group of scouts that were on jump status at Drum. They had berets and all as they were the only airborne unit on post there. They were deactivated in 05 I believe. It is the more unique combat patch I have ever seen.

I was with a couple scouts in 1/71 CAV that came over from LRS-D. So I saw that patch quite often.

The unit actually deactivated in late 04. The unit was comprised of Inafantryman with a small contingent of Commo personnel. You are correct that we were the only unit in an active airborne status on Ft Drum.

Got a lot of Unit Patches but only one I guess would qualify since I rode it TAD in Desert Storm and as Ships Company in Desert Strike and that would be the Razorback of USS Arkansas CGN-41.

My favorite Unit Patch was the TRADOC patch I wore when assigned to Ft McClellan. However, my 2nd Armored Division (FED) is still an awesome unit patch!

Honestly it depends on the day... my most prized combat patch is my 18th MP Bde. I origionally earned it in the invasion of Iraq. I served with a lot of good peopl in that tour and we lost a few Soldiers.
I also wear my USASFC patch as I was able to do some unique things with 10th Group when I was assigned to them.
I am also authorized to wear 1AD, 3ID, 43d MP
