Is there an official Army nametape font? Only one mentioned is for names longer than 11 letters.
Wife has an embroidery machine and want to make my own.

Per DA PAM 670-1, in section 21-15, Subsection b(1), it states that the font is Last names consisting of 11 letters or more are constructed using Franklin gothic extra-condensed print (48 point) 1/2 inch high. The letters are 3/4 inch high and 1/2 inch wide. I can't find anything else. Otherwise, I would say that it is more than likely Arial font since that is the directed font for Army writing.
I would totally recommend you reach out to AAFES to see what they use.

Seems like a lot of energy spent on an item that is pretty cheap, just saying.

MSG Livingston is on it, great recommendation I will add that it sounds like alotvof work for your wife based on the material, Velcro, time on the machine, trial and error, I cannot imagine her valuable time is t better spent when name tapes are so cheap, and you receive an allotment for just such maintenance of your uniform.
I know for a fact that your wife, an Army spouse has enough to deal with.
Of course it may just be a labor of love for her, if that is the case then go for it.
I make this statement out of respect for Military spouses, there hard work and sacrifices made, please don’t read anything else into my response. I know what I, the Army and my units put my wife through.
Thank her and you for your service.

My wife does a lot and I appreciate her patience, sacrifice and support; she definitely has the harder job.
The initial trial and error would take the longest time and then I can start saving my soldiers money and the process should be very quick. I'm just looking to do sew on nametapes and then she would sew them on as well. Would be nice if she could just embroider that right onto the uniform.
As national guard we don't receive allotments and the closest tailoring shop I know that sews them on is an hour away. Take into account gas money and 2 hours of driving x2 trips and the cost and time makes more sense, especially for guys that live the other way and spend most of their drill check on gas to get there. Not that it has to be sewn on but it looks a lot more professional. It definitely makes more sense to just buy the velcro ones if that's what they want.
