NO one wore patches outside of the FOB. Everyone in the unit was assigned to C&C -- period. By definition that would make them SOF. There were a few non-SF (note the distinction from SOF) personnel. The individual I was talking to was SF. COMCEN personnel are SF as are commo men like I. However, C&C was a rare chance for we 05Bs to get out of the bunker and joiun in the "fun". Few commo men I knew were content to sit in a bunker and be a spectator. Like everyone else we were Special Forces first.

The patches you mention were a little too loud for QPs. We enjoyed going "sterile" and letting people wonder.

BTW: I don't recall anyone having a "SOG" patch in my day. Was there such an animal?
