Do y'all recommend putting a squadron patch on or just keeping the nametag as the only thing on the jacket?
A common topic that comes up every few years. I don't know if there is "one" answer here. There many like having their "first" squadron, others like leaving it blank, others like "stacking" squadron patches as you progress in your career. Still others go for a circle of Velcro. Your first "real" operational squadron in your chosen community would be my choice. Get a quality patch (preferably of a heritage variety) and good sewing.
The G-1 is the envy of our sister services, especially the AF. AF types are prohibited from wearing their A2 in actual flying operations. I wear my G1 to the office and flying regularly and I get a lot of compliments.
Do what feels right for you.
