and don't go pulling my chain.

Have you tried a web search on “Montana National Guard” to see if you can get images of men wearing the uniforms, showing the patch placements?

[SFC Chromey]

Google AR 670-1, it’s available online.

I think you should just wear your uniform as-is and report to your company First Sergeant for advice. I’m sure he’ll square you away.

[Bear_Slayer]

Thanks!

[Non-Sequitur]

I’m going to sleep soundly knowing that the safety on our country rests in the hands of crack troops like yourself.

I guess it won’t work to tell you the patches go on your underwear then.

(Good luck, congratulations, and thank you for your service from a grateful American and former resident of Bozeman).

LOL, you gotta start somewhere.

[GreenOgre]

Talk about setting someone up for failure. How can you sleep at night?

LOL

[SFC Chromey]

Do you have the ACU or BDU uniform?

[caltrop]

US Army goes over your left pocket, your name goes over your right. The circular patch goes at the top of your left sleeve (shoulder). I'm not familiar with the actual patch but would be very surprised it's worn any way but with the sun coming up over the mountains.

Having said all that I'd be very surprised if anybody gave you any real grief if you show up without the patches sewn on and explain the situation.

Good luck in the Guard.

Can’t help you out there Bear-Slayer, but wanted to wish you the best at your new endeavor. As someone born and raised in Montana my heart is often there, as opposed to LA where I presently live. Good luck to you. Will be home for Christmas :-) and glad to know a FReeper will be on guard as they say. Take care!

[Bear_Slayer]

I don’t know the technical differences.

[The KG9 Kid]

No matter how bad he gets it, I've been through 1000 times worse.

So, how bad could it be?

[Non-Sequitur]

I was standing inport OOD watch one day when a new officer reported aboard straight from OCS. It was summer and he was in his whites. I had to ask him if he had slept through the class on uniform regs because he had his shoulder boards on upside down. It happens all over.

They have the sunburst on the montanaguard site:

Thank you for serving!

[SFC Chromey]

ACU= light green and tan digital camo pattern
BDU= olive green, black, brown, known as woodland camo pattern

ACU has velcro patches, while BDU must be sewn on.

Oh, and let me also say thank you for your service.
