I have some crests leftover, 2 Active Duty, 2 Guard and Reserve.
The Navy and Marine Corps doesn't use them.

 

We still had unit patches in the Marine Corp.

 

My dad's unit.

That one.

56th Field Artillery Brigade (Pershing)

 

I thought my MNSTC-I patch was artistic

My active duty crest had a bit of history to it. 1-36 Inf "Spartans"

 

My one and only unit, 6th BN PSYOP crest and official SOCOM patch, and our unofficial patch... :

 

72nd Ord Bn.

59th Ord Brigade. You know there were lots of jokes about this one.

That, right there, is funny!

 

USCG didn't have units but we had this stuff ^^

I'm a Shellback and a Marine. Fortunately, we didn't have the time to do the ceremony with that fat squid Neptune.

 

 

Little birds were the shiznit.

 

I just want to say it now.. Thanks to all of you for your service. You old dudes inspired me, you youngins make me proud.

 

I concur, and also thanks to the Navy and Air force also:

Boring to look at, but tons of history. Proud to have worn it on my right shoulder.

 

Germany or Stewart?

My first tour in Germany 3 iD was still there..

 

My three Army NG unit crests (DUIs). The Marines did not use DUIs nor did we have patches in the Corps.

 

Mine!

Not mine -- my Dad's.

 

 

Had the Marines had division patches, I guess I'd have worn these:

If we had Bn patches, I guess we would have worn something like these:

But the Corps believed we were all Marines and didn't need patches. Simply wearing the uniform was all the "patch" we needed. At least back when I was in.

But I was proud to wear this one in the Army Guard:

Long lineage behind the Yankee Div. And I am now a member of a state militia unit that had most of it's members volunteer for duty in WWI. They reported as a Cav unit (horse) and were made a machine gun unit and sent to France.

 

First two are from my time in the Navy NAVINFOWARACT , NSA Ft. Meade, ONI
Second are my Army National Guard 1 Batt 151 INF

 

Sine pari= without equal

 

You Army guys get all the cool bling.

And go ahead, laugh it up......,

 

You Army guys get all the cool bling.

The Army does have bling. : I joined the national guard after 4 years active in the Corps (had three ribbons) and almost immediately got four more ribbons. I think I ended up with 12 by the time I retired. You'd have to fight a lot of major battles in major campaigns to get that many in the Corps.

My Marine uniform was pretty basic. But it was sharp and they took care in making sure we looked good. And we did. Not so much in the Army (at least in the Guard). The Marines still have the sharpest dress uniforms of all of the services.

 

I hate Cav dudes for the most, but this has been without a doubt the coolest crest I think I will ever see in my life.

More info on the crest: http://www.tioh.hqda.pentagon.mil/C...on.mil/Catalog/HeraldryMulti.aspx?CategoryId=7912&grp=2&menu=Uniformed Services

For clarification I was never in that unit, just super jelly of their crest.

For me my regimental affiliation and the crest I have the most sentimental value attached to is the 2-5 IN crest.

 

Some of my old ones.

 

That's neat I'm actually in 1-37 AR right now. I'm guessing you were with them back when they were in Germany?
