US Combat Badge

Other than that, Army guys who have graduated from the US Ranger or Special Forces courses can and do wear their tabs on Cdn combats
I've never seen anyone (recently) wear Ranger or SF tabs with combats.  There isn't even provisions for them on TW combats anyway.

Actually, you don't need a badge to identify Rangers and SF. Just watch them while they talk to each other:

You're right.  Come to think of it I haven't seen anyone recently (last couple of years) wear those tabs in the TW combats.  But I have seen it continued to be worn on the arid combats such as on Athena Roto 6.  Best example is this photo of LCol Mills wearing his tab and attached US unit patch.

Just taking this to to new topic. (from Combat Shirts topic)

OK, try to make this as simple as I can.

Canadian Forces member deploys overseas with an Amercain unit. Member is issued a combat badge from the Amercain unit. When the tour is done, is the member still entitled to wear this badge back in Canada. (On the rain jacket)

Your thoughts?

Any insight as to why there is a white X stitched into the Canadian flag.

Has no meaning or significances it is just how they attached the flag to a piece of Velcro.
 
It due to the top layer keeps peeling off. The Amercian flag doesn't have the stitched x, and it keeps peeling. More fuel for the 1st Sgts to jack them up.

Does a thin white X over it really bother you that much?  It's a non-issue, I've never heard anyone say anything about the X tell you.
 
It does irritate me...and whats wrong with being a social outcast  :blotto:
 
It has nothing to do with the CF not being able to afford OD fabric, it is an IR material.  And who cares if there is a white x through it, no one over there worries about something as small and trivial as that.  As long as your country flag is proudly on your army, it makes no difference in the world
 
The material is primarily made to reflect Infra Red as to keep our troops safe.

Give your head a shake.
 
Seriously? 

Man, this whole thread is suspect.

I will say however, I did find the large IR flags and the IFF patches to be extremely shoddily made.  Horrible stitching and overall workmanship.  Junk.
