When I was in during the BDU era it always kind of bummed me out that all of our badges and patches on our uniforms were subdued. Obviously this made sense because they were sown on but with the advent of velcro patches and pin-on badges should soldiers in garrison have a full-color set to wear day to day?

Keep the full colored patches and badges for dress uniforms not the ACUs or whatever the next generation of utility uniform is.

I agree the color badges should be for dress uniforms only not everyday work uniforms

You are correct, outside of that fact, keep the badges and patches subdued on the utility uniforms.

For all of you saying how tactical we are...
There's low crawling, slit your throat, silencer on my rifle tactical...and then thete is Bob-on-the-FOB tactical.
Bob needs subdued patches but is required to wear a freaking PT belt???

The American flag is in full color while in garrison and is subdued while serving in a combat zone. Why then shouldn't the unit and combat patches be displayed in the same manner.
Additionally, since our colored patches have been taken away by way of the Army Service Uniform, and the only surviving vestige is a metal combat pin on the ASU, I think we can think of a way to reincorporate the colored patches back onto our uniforms.

I definitely agree 1SG Frank Rocha. The color of the patches helps connect us to our history.
