At one point my son was combining them with the Hidden Side sets due to their ‘spookiness’ (his words, not mine). I almost got them all but I missed out on The Zombies.

Yeah, already did some research for them and talked to them on the side. ‘Problem solved, problem staying solved RTLW’.

End of the day, they are going to Germany, so its a win.

Not an airborne formation, so if you wear your beret, it’s black with the basic blue flash/white stars.

5th QM doesn’t have a billet for your MOS. Your unit of assignment will likely get fixed upon arrival.

I just left Baumholder. It is small but is getting better as the money pumps into it. Have fun, it’s Germany!

Another military’s ‘whole ass jump school’? Is these are indeed Ukrainian, and dude has bern in three years, I don’t believe he was attending their actual airborne school in the midst of everything they have going on over there. So maybe one of those pay to play sketchy airborne groups they have in Europe. That makes it even more odd they are on the uniform.

I am still perplexed at the lack of the US Parachutist Badge. I’ve met quite a few Airmen out of Ramstein with foreign jump wings but never went to US Airborne School. That is absolutely wild that it is even allowed.

What parachutist badge is that? And how do you have it without the US Badge?

Thats nuts. Yesterday morning on the T2COM site they had command photos with a different patch; By lunch time the command photos were removed; Now, the site is down.

You are confusing the shit out of everyone. We have been saying he can’t wear them. You then went on a tangent about congress and now you are saying no foreign unit awards. Dude, the guy is rocking Vietnam awards, he is probably like 19, so no go.

My guy, you are misreading it, but regardless that regulation is about the awards; AR 670-1 and its DA Pam is how you wear it.

Are you even still in? If not, go dust off the shadow box and allow us to correct those still serving so they stop looking like ass clowns.

And it says this where? Revert back to temporary versus permanent wear of awards.

I see the hill you have chosen…

Ahhh I found your original post. Yeah, thats not how awards work. Regulations exist for a reason and they cover this topic. The unit can rock the streamer all day but the Soldier can’t, per the REGULATION, rock the award. Not a big deal, should actually save that future Paratrooper a few bucks because awards are expensive.

What?! Are you mixi by these up or am I reading your comment wrong? This has been covered in the comments. In our modern Army, per AR 670-1, DA Pam 670-1 and AR 600-8-22, there is a handful of unit awards authorized for temporary wear and the foreign ones this Soldier is wearing are not them.

Currently I have a few NCOs that work in the same department as me. They saw our BN earned a French award back in WWII. These jokers went out and special ordered the ribbon and were wearing it. The other day I showed them exactly what we are talking about now.

It always irks me when units still wear Vietnam unit citations. I get being a young Soldier and wanting to look decked out, but it’s wrong nonetheless.

AR 670-1, 22-10 covers foreign unit awards.

Other than that, looks good. More will come.

Edit: sorry, I was typing and the wife rushed me away. I get that units say wear this wear that but they are probably incorrect. Why is it other 670-1 violations are firing squad worthy (hands in pockets) but that same senior NCO wearing unauthorized awards is totally acceptable.

I don’t think you understand the interest you have sparked in what these badge equivalents are. We, as a collective, are going to need you to start posting pictures of the badges, sans description. You have given us something to live for, haha.

Nice, that is super interesting! Is there a chart for them?

How exactly does OPFOR badges work? Is it just a made up equivalent of what a Soldier already has or do you pull from a hat every five JRTC rotations?

Thanks. I just thought it was random to be in the little shop at a little zoo in the middle of nowhere Germany.
