Wah, now so "on" ah? Throughout the '90s, only the KAHs,
officers & a few diehards wore their ranks in my outfit. Even
the 3SGs didn't bother after some time.
Not being rebellious or bo-chap, to clarify. It's more cuz
reservists stay outfield much longer than active troops, possibly
for more than a week. Whenever we changed No.4s -- particularly the
borrowed uniforms our QM/RQ managed to requisition -- who cares
about donning rank, or nametags for that matter, if they can't be
fastened?
At least, nametags could be velcroed in the old days &, of
course, officers have their epaulettes. Ultimately, the KAHs ended
up wearing their ranks sewn onto those cloth chinagraph holders
(worn on the biceps). Guess it was a cumulative improvision among
many units over time, cuz they were bought/donated & kept in
the CQ stores for each unit ICT.
Thus, how to wear the new patches? Safety pins?
