Also, you don't see any unit patches on any of the soldiers in the flashbacks other than the triangle one Mal pulls of the dead LT. We're all assuming that's the 'Independent Patch', but in all honesty, it may be the patch of the 57th Overlanders.
I personally prefer the idea of wearing the Battalion patch because as a Bn we could be one of the Bn's that make up the "Balls and Bayonets" Brigade (the 57th) and therefore be in Mal's unit, even if under him.
So it's a very real possability that the BDH himself will lead us in the Battle of Serenity Valley.
I really like that idea. We could always expand later. Being a battalion would work for now. It's not like we are as big now as the 501st Legion. If we ever do get bigger, we can always add new units.

We will be bigger than the 501st! We must! We shall blanket the streets with wave upon wave of browncoat-ed Independents! They will have to increase the length of the parade just to accomodate us! They will stand in awe of the ordered (well, maybe) ranks of proud holders-of-the-line! And we shall march proudly!
*ahem*
Sorry, got a bit carried away. I may need to lay off the coffee for a bit...

This is sounding really, really shiny...I love the knitted chain mail sleeves! What a great idea!
I've now got patches available online, $4/ea; $3/ea for 4-9; $2/ea for 10+. So if you don't think you want to get several hundred of them, I've got them in stock, ready to go. These are the new ones with the blue star, as in the Firefly Companion.
Looking forward to joining up!

shinyhappyklin, glad to have you! Thank you about the patches! We do have a design we are trying to decide on, and I am still not sure if we are wearing both of them. I am defering decisions like that to the military and ex-military amongst us. It's been a bit quiet today.

Well, the way the modern US Army does it is that you wear your unit patch on the left sleeve, and if deployed or serving overseas the American flag on the other. If you deploy to a combat zone you wear the unit you're deploying with on the right shoulder under the American flag.
I don't know if we'd want to do one or both. I'm thinking just the one, but I'm up for either. I've already got the triangle patch.

I'm ging to march with you guys , but as a companion because I can't give up that dream of all the pretty clothes.
But I love the picture of Mal/Nathan leading the troops.
Maybe someone could try to pass this info on to our captain or any other of cast that might attend.Who knows right ?

I would also defer to those among us who know more about the military; but if I could vote; I'd have us wear both; our 76th...(on the left sleeve as per BWTP)...and the triangle patch from Serenity on the right. (Kinda like a flag?) dunno...Oh, and I'm with Tristan in that we should blanket the streets...conscripting ANYONE at D*C w/tan pants to march with us...heh heh.
