Oh... Ok, nice to know... I'm by far an expert with US uniforms :) |

Didn't have the black and sand badges back in the DBDU days... That came later with the DCUs... ( I think General Schwarzkoff got the first set of DCUs in the theater, lol...) On the "Chocolate Chips", all the stuff on the jacket was either black metal pin-on or OD/Black embroidered.. CIB, Jump Wings, AASSLT Wings, Name and US ARMY tapes, embroidered rank... Oh, you could BUY 'em from places like the US Cavalry Store, or Brigade Quartermasters, but they weren't in the PX or Clothing sales, and damned-sure not in the supply system or Saw-OOO-dee Arabia... Well, maybe some of Paki T-shirt guys had sand-colored tapes though... They had everything else we wore on our uniforms, even had our uniforms..
