It sure is hard to line up your top 6, definitely too complicated with too much attention to detail required. Way more difficult than properly cleaning an M-4, or conducting proper inspection and maintenance checks on an AH-64 to make sure it doesn't fall out of the sky.

They say it's a choice, whose, the individual or the chain of command?

Why would you want to. I destroys the shirt quicker over time. I saw many recruiters when we could wear them on the Green shirts end up buying new shirts as they would tear.

As I recall the green shirt was only strong enough to wear the proper Chaplain Corps branch above the right pocket. The pocket was strong enough to hold name plate. Only other thing was the left pocket button to hold the fob for the MP Badge.

Back in the old days when you were wrong if you weren't breaking starch twice a day no matter the uniform, we had plastic backers and magnets. That was before they invented practically weightless "thin ribbons" for the uniform shirts that all the cool kids seem to wear on their tunics these days.

A couple of ounces of ribbons isn't going to hurt a shirt, it's the heavy metal Tower of Power (formerly known as the Benning, Campbell, or Bragg Stacks) plus tabs that will get you.
