Soldiers who have earned multiple identification badges can now move one to the opposite side of the Army Combat Uniform rather than wear two on one sleeve. These include: The Guard, Tomb of the Unknown Soldier Badge, the Military Horseman Badge, the Drill Sergeant Badge, the Army or Army Reserve Recruiter Badge, the Career Counselor Badge, the Army National Guard Recruiter Badge, and the Instructor Badge.

This is a "big" change?

Poo. I thought they were bringing back sky blue trousers, or kepis, or something.

Who in their right mind will wear a recruiter badge? It's like saying to the world: Please beat the snot out of me in the parking lot after dark.

That's a shame, I thought they were moving back to Tricornes

There was an article the other day that they were thinking of going back to the "pinks and greens" dress uniforms.

I think the berets are terrible.

Bring back the Ridgeway hat.

Now that would be a big change. We had TWs, Dress Greens, Dress and Mess Blues. Way back then, old fart and the TWs were eventually dropped.

I think the berets are terrible.
I feel somewhat the same way. I think the only troops who should where berets are Paratroopers, Rangers and Special Forces.
