Leather Jacket Changes
- Thread starter Pcoola19
- Start date
My squadron just did a big Tipsy Gypsy order. Most of us went for flags. Call me OCD but I think the jacket looks unbalanced with a platform or weapons school patch on the right shoulder with nothing on the left...
Plus it annoys chiefs, which is one of the primary responsibilities for JOs.

Which made about as much sense as the NAS Dallas patch
I wear my flag...don’t give a fuck if someone (a Chief) has a problem with it, add it to the list of petty regulations I’ve regularly ignored...
I also own a backpack that isn’t all black, because I’m such a fucking rebel.

Also technically not allowed, for what it's worth.
Regs don't say you cannot wear a flag, so I think you're inferring flag wearing guidance that isn't there. Stop trying to be a pedantic DH before you are one ?.
It's too late to save me. But... it does say you can't wear any other patches than the unit patch and your nametag:
USN Uniform Regulations said:
In reality, what am I going to do? Rip a leather patch off a jacket? The only times I've gotten on people about their patches were HT students wearing absolutely ridiculous ones on their right sleeves, with my attitude of "dude, you're gonna wear that and draw all that attention to yourself BEFORE you earn your wings?!"
Also, those who wear a state or territory flag in place of an American flag... one... against regs, two, I am just like "this isn't antebellum USA man, we don't fight in the California Republic Navy, or the Ohio Militia, although, yes, cool trivia it's a pennnant not a flag, take it off and put on an American flag."
The lobotomy has taken effect. I felt it happening during my disassociated tour.

I think you are the first NA/NFO to ever complain/critique TG patches . . .
Ha, proud owner of TG patches, however, I do think their business model of their wait lists and taking forever to deliver is a fair criticism.
According to wikipedia, that order was rescinded in 2019 and now only the oldest USN ship that's not the USS Constitution flies it.
Yeah, he's a unique individual. I've been to his workshop and seen his operation. He pretty much has one speed . . . . . but you can't argue with the quality.
One of our DHs wears a DTOM flag with her flight suit, but it’s the yellow Gadsden flag vice the navy jack. I think it looks stupid and delegitimizing. We all do dumb shit to circumvent the rules like secret patches under the main ones, or pen pocket patches, but choosing to forego the actual flag or at least the “navy” flag seems unnecessary and fussy.
