But other than that, I see no real reason why we couldn't wear colored patches in Garrison. It wouldn't be hard to do, but with the speed the Army works at times, our grand kids would still be waiting for this 15 years into their careers to be approved after going through 30 different service polls, multiple uniform boards, opinions by news pundits, and the massive amount of butthurt from units who have crappy colors in their patches.Response by SSG Warren Swan made Oct 24 at 2015 7:17 PM2015-10-24T19:17:44-04:002015-10-24T19:17:44-04:00SPC Elijah J.

Full color flag with subdued SSI doesn't make sense to me. Full color flag with full color SSI? Great. Subdued flag with subdued SSI? Great. Just pick one.<br /><br />Although I have to admit, USACC (and other units with only the colors black and gold in their patch) got lucky, since the OCP SSI looks somewhat gold anyway.Response by Cadet CPT Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 28 at 2020 5:25 PM2020-03-28T17:25:31-04:002020-03-28T17:25:31-04:002015-10-24T14:56:01-04:00
