Every man had to have one complete uniform with name, rank, ARMY tape, and unit patches. So it was told.

Name and ARMY tape were easy to see Velcro onto. Unit patches were harder to come by as the clothing sales system was playing catchup with deployed personnel.

Rank was mostly pin on, as again, DCU compatible sew on rank was in short supply. We tried to stay within AR 670-1, as even in country, the jack assery of any headquarters area reared it's head. We dreaded trips to Kandahar and I can't imagine what Kandahar/ Kabul was like.

What are your trying to do, put a uniform together? There are plenty of pictures on line and in books.

The Insurgency is going well, especially with the enemy at the table of every branch of our Federal, State, and Local Government.
