    I shoot almost every year in the pistol phase in the Presidents 💯. Military and civilians compete during this match at Camp Perry Ohio. The course of fire is 20 shots slow fire at 50 yards, 10 shots timed and 10 shots rapid fire at 25 yards. You must use one hand only. This is a prestige match but the Distinguished Pistol Shot Badge is the highest US shooting award for the military and civilians. It’s one of the most difficult marksmanship awards to earn. Each badge is made with coined gold, has your name, serial number and year engraved on the back. My badge was awarded in 2011.

The idea for a 10th Mountain Division band patch to be worn was floated around, but never came to fruition. We just wear the mountain tab like the rest of the division.

    It's true that you can be in a "Airborne" tabbed unit and not be Airborne qualified. I was in the XVIII Airborne Corps but never went to Airborne School because there was no way in hell I'm jumping out of a perfectly good airplane and it was not a requirement in the Corps unit, although preference was given if you wanted to go to Airborne School. 82nd Airborne Division, on the other hand, does require all of it's members to be Airborne qualified.

Anyways the airborne tab comes along with a unit's SSI, it's not an individual tab like the Ranger tab or SF tab. So u can't just wear the airborne tab, u have to be part of an airborne unit.

    A small note regarding Ranger identifiers:
    The Ranger tab is achieved by completing Ranger School, not RASP/RIP-- RASP/RIP is the training and selection program for going into Ranger-specific units, whereas the Ranger School is a certifying school you apply to and undertake, and receive the tab at the end of if you pass. Also, Ranger unit tabs are also called scrolls, more commonly for the right-shoulder placement for going into theater in a Ranger unit or attached to one with recognition/given under special programs and joint ops circumstances.
    A few other tabs not detailed:
    Sniper tab (fairly self-explanatory, received once Sniper qualified after the school)
    Sentinel tab (for old guard/tomb of unknown soldier)
    Diver tab (technically another special unit within the Army, not well known but there is an episode of "Surviving the Cut" on that school)

    Three isn’t the most that is soldier can wear. I’ve seen an SF guy rock’n the Airborne, Sapper, Ranger & SF tab before. Unless things have changed, then oh well - but if you earned, you can wear it on your acu’s. Like seeing a guy walk around with 5 skill scare badges on CIB, Jump, Air Assault, Pathfinder & Spec Ops Combat Diver D. Not everyone wears everything because they don’t wanna come off super douchie’ lol.

    Though its not an Authorized tab, the Sniper tab is customarily sewn UNDER the pocket flap (left chest for the old BDU's and left arm for the ACU's and OCP's). IMHO being a Sniper warrants a tab, but (also IMHO) it seems that since Officers can not attend Sniper School, there's no push by the brass to get it approved.

    Regarding unit insignia patches, I served in the New Jersey army national guard in the the 1960s at the time the 50th armored division was assigned to New Jersey to be enlisted in a non-divisional unit of the New Jersey army national so I did not wear the 50th armored division but I wore was the first army patch this caused a lot of confusion between regular army folks assigned to the first United States army add to those of us in non-divisional New Jersey army national guard units they didn't know if we were regular army or army national guard I believe nowadays the entire state of New Jersey is assigned the 42nd infantry they wear the rainbow division patch

During Korea and Vietnam the Army formed several independent Ranger companies but all of them were disbanded when the those wars ended as well. The Rangers in Vietnam fell under the command of the 75th Infantry Regiment (Ranger). In 1974 the 1st Ranger Battalion was established with the 2nd Battalion being formed in 1984. The 75th Ranger Regiment was first formed in 1986. The Ranger tab as an award was established in 1950

    @dallasyap3064 Před 4 lety

    Actually the President's Hundred tab is worn at the top. That tab is longer than the Special Forces tab. The Special Forces unit patch/SSI is not just for SF personnel or SF support personnel but for the entire 1st Special Forces Command. There are other units under the 1st Special Forces Command. So personnel in these units will wear the same SSI as Green Berets. And yeah only 3 tabs can be worn at a time. But those 3 tabs are individual tabs. The airborne tab doesn't count bcoz it's part of the unit SSI. If a Green Beret has the Special Forces tab, the Ranger tab and the Sapper tab, he is allowed to wear 3 of them along with the unit SSI and the airborne tab, which is part of the SSI. So he will have Special Forces tab, Ranger tab, Sapper tab and the airborne tab (along with SSI).

    • @soomi3541
      @soomi3541 Před 2 lety +1

      “Recondo” was a short name for the “reconnaissance commando” course the Army used to teach, and rather foolishly stopped teaching. While I wasn’t able to attend this course, my older brother did back in the ‘70’s when he (and many others like him) was an Air Force Academy cadet (summer training for them). Just as the Army, back in the late ‘70’s, was training, and graduating, approximately 18,000 students per year from the Airborne school at Benning--which was a far, far greater number of airborne-qualified soldiers than our military needed--because it was such an effective confidence-building course that taught individuals how to overcome very legitimate fears of falling to their death, or being injured otherwise, and helping them learn what they were capable of accomplishing with proper training and good equipment, so should the Recondo course have been continued. The skills learned in that course would have benefited any downed aircrew, or any individuals/small units who became separated from their larger, “parent” unit in combat--basically, a very good course on escape & evasion skills, which were the same skills a recon unit would need/use when operating independently as a small team. And, just like graduating far more airborne-qualified soldiers than we actually needed each year, a hell of a course to teach you how to survive, and get home, as a combat-effective team, and maybe bring back some useful knowledge about the enemy as well. Another good course lost to stupidity and cost cutting by idiots who would never, themselves, be in a situation to need that training. But, such is the modern philosophy of our American military leadership.

      The ranger tab can only be worn if you graduated from ranger school and it's documented on your ERB. The Airborne tab is something that is only worn with a unit patch of an Airborne unit. The tab does not indicate that the person is Airborne, that's what the badge is for but you also must have graduated from Airborne school and have it on your ERB.
