Quote HistoryQuoted: There's got to be someone around here that rates the 1st or 2nd MarDiv patch as their combat patch. I think there was a brouhaha about it with senior Army leadership and they stopped letting them wear them, but I remember seeing a bunch of soldiers wearing one of those 2 patches in Iraq as their combat patch. There was a policy change about the time I separated so I’d have to check 670 or HR but I saw quite a few ARNG guys wearing one, a few of whom never served a day in the USMC. |

The AF did away with Rip its in the DFACs awhile ago. The Bangs were more recognizable by the kids. The Bangs generally taste better anyway except the peanut butter one. Neat patch though

Marine deployment patches aren't technically authorized for prior service Marines who transfer to the army either, but that is collectively ignored and deployed prior Marine I know wears them anyway, myself included.
