So I know you can mix and match until the wear out date, however I own alot of nametapes from OEF and was wanting to know if I could utilize them on the new pattern or if I would have to buy new nametapes. I've been researching the ALARACTS but I cannot find a definitive answer. Any help is appreciated

Honestly there wouldn't be any way to tell on a name tape. The only difference between OCP and Multicam is the pattern itself, which would only be apparent on a larger piece of cloth. They have the same color palette. However with Multicam, there is a distinct vertical pattern that does not show up in OCP. Like I said though, this is only apparent is you look at a much larger section of material.

There is such a minute difference in the two pasterns, IMO no one will notice or care.

Pretty sure you can, same as patches. Just don't use ACU name-tapes on the OCP (:

That being said, as a joke, sending a new private for the OCP pattern unit patches would be almost as good as searching for a PRCE-7 radio, or a box of Grid Squares, or the HMMVW keys, or the 50 yards of Flight-Line!
