I served on the USS Tattnall, DDG-19 from April of '77 to November '80. The Tattnall relieved Pharris (FF-1094) on 23 June 1978 at the Dutch Naval Base at Den Helder, Netherlands as part of the Standing Naval Forces Atlantic (STANAVFORLANT) until December '78.
The Navy does not give individual orders to the members of the crew, assigning them to NATO but the ship was assigned while I was stationed aboard. Who can I ask about getting NATO flair? |

However, as a general rule, the NATO badge is intended for people that served in foreign NATO militaries - with Striker (Canada) and myself (Denmark) being the most prominent examples. There are many .mil people on ARFCOM who served with NATO units, or were temporarily attached to NATO units, or part of NATO task forces, etc. - like your example - but that's not what the NATO badge is intended for. Part of the issue is that it would be extremely difficult to try to figure out where to draw the line, or how to determine who qualifies and who doesn't, so the rule right now is basically service IN a foreign NATO military. I am sure Striker will correct me if I mis-explained anything. |

I know the Canadian Armed Forces is extremely protective of all of our crests, hat badges,etc. If I want to use my hat badge from my Battalion I need the CO's permission. I would assume to get permission to use the corn flake would go all the way to NHQ. |
