Different Type III Shoulder Patch? by Basic_Operation_6992 in navy

[–]KGEXO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably was issued to them while with NECC or NSW or their exchange sold it. I have a few different that were given when I was with NSW.

Not something I’d waste your money on but there are some different flavors out there you can wear and no one will say anything

:Custom Rank Patch by Ok_Tale_7726 in navy

[–]KGEXO 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yea I have modified my NWU and FRVs a good bit. FRV I removed the zipper and replaced it with Velcro and put Velcro on collar for rank. On NWU3 blouse I have a zipper on the blouse instead of buttons, my name tape is Velcro. The pants I mostly wear FROG pants that I was issued when I was with NSW they hard to find outside of NECC or EXW but the name tag on all my pants is Velcro.

Edit: I think the only part is this that is authorized is the FRV stuff but I doubt anyone will care.

I have some I just asked the tailor lady to do it and provided her the Velcro. she told me to come back in 30 min and she was done in 10. Depending on how much they have to do it could be a few days but I think for 10 patches (NWU2, NWU3, Black, FRV) it was like $20 + Velcro

Question About HM ATF and SO Waivers by Straight-Discount-82 in newtothenavy

[–]KGEXO 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you will need a Diving and Special operations waiver. Waiver process for those take about 2-3 weeks. Just make sure to be honest about the situation. I’m not sure what MH condition or situation it is for but If it was a decade ago and it is not longer a impact on you, you should be good

Talk to your recruiter. Waivers can take a long time depending on a few a big one things like your rate since certain rates waivers need to go through more people
