Legendary Leatherworks, I can't believe I didn't put 2 and 2 together when you mentioned the lanyards. ( I was you first PayPal customer
)I'm taking the final class tonight, so I'll see what deficiencies there are in what I need to know and hit him up. I thank him in advance for everything and you for making the offer.

I'm glad you like them. I'll let everyone know what kind of deal I can work out with the patch place. At worst, I'm thinking $2 a patch. Once I send chunks of them to the contributors, you can charge whatever you want for them, but once we decide on a quantity and what everybody's going to help offset for me, than just tell me how much you can/want to contribute and you'll get the equivalent amount of patches.

Please tell me that if you pay the $20 you can get the signature AND take a picture with them. It would kinda suck to have an either/or situation.

I'm going to start a new thread for this, and try to move all the relevant data over. Give me a few minutes....
-EDIT-
New thread....I tried to carry a lot forward, but I know I missed some stuff!

Well for one thing, modern military doesn't wear a Brigade patch: They were a Division patch. Not sure how/if this will matter to anyone, because unless the word "Brigade" was used specifically we could easily assume that all references to the 76th was a reference to a Division number.
However, if we're dead set on Brigade, I would suggest to Babywiththepower that you look up the word "Regiment", the Chinese Military equivalent of Brigade.
I'll put forth for my own vote that we stick with having the patch represent our Division, and that we choose a Company of a Battalion of a Brigade of the 76th Division to represent. If this is cool with you Tristan, I could write up all of the nomenclature on it, give us a real identity. I think it's pretty much decided that you'd be the Company Commander, most likely making you a Captain (imagine that?). You could assign a First Sargeant and an XO of Lieutenant rank.

BWTP, those are some shiny patches. I prefer the oval or circular design to the hexagon one, but that is just me. The triangular one is nice, but may be too much since the Independent patch is already a triangle. Don't much care for the square. I'll gladly buy several when they are made (or in advance if need be) to insure I can get them in time to sew on & get the numbers needed to place the patch order.

I don't know how your unit worked, but I wore my Battalion patch in my sleeve (for awhile) and my Batallion crest on my beret. We changed to wearing the Group patch (for those that don't know Group is equvalent to Brigade). The only people that wore a Division patch were the ones assigned to the Division. I know it was different in units like the 1st AD, but it wasn't a blanket rule across the board. Pleanty of Battalions and Brigades had patches.

What MOS were you? Until I got to Bragg, it was Battalion crest on beret, and Brigade patches on the sleeve only if you'd been deployed with them.

Sorry, updated the thread with the correct info. I got it ass backwards. Been up for 24 hours. No caffiene. Sorry.
And in answer, I was DISE Platoon, A. Co, 2d Bn, 66th MI GP.
I was a 96B, Tactical Intel Analyst. But while I was in I was also an 97B, Counter Intel, and SatCom (not sure the MOS designator).
