The patches on the left sleeve of the shirt should
be placed as follows: Blue Shadows patch one inch
from the top of the sleeve. Rank should be placed
one inch below that. A crease must also run down
the middle of the sleeve and both patches.
Any rank patches on the right sleeve of the shirt
should be placed at an equal distance as the patch
on the left. This measures out approximately four
and one half inches due to size of the Blue Shadows
patch. A crease must run down the middle of the
sleeve as well.
The
name badge (A) goes on the right side of the shirt centered above
the right pocket. The name badge must also rest flush on top
of the pocket seem.
Ribbons
(B) are to be placed above the left pocket and centered.
Insert shows how to place multiple ribbons. The ribbons must
also rest flush on the left pocket. A piece of cardboard can
be placed under the shirt behind the ribbons to flatten out any
wrinkles. Do not wash ribbons with water. Use a vacuum
cleaner to get any dust off. Try not to touch the face of
the ribbons at all.
