I hope they were reported....there are only squadron/unit insignia and flags allowed on flight suits.

Maybe back in the dark ages when you were munching carpets while violating the UCMJ.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Well, if they were Navy aircrew, they were in violation of directives..........

https://www.public.navy.mil/bupers-npc/reference/messages/Documents/NAVADMINS/NAV2016/NAV16055.txt

2.3. A candidate for civil office as defined by DoD Directive 1344.10, Political Activities by Members of
the Armed Forces, may not be permitted to engage in campaign or election-related activities (e.g.,
public assemblies, town hall meetings, speeches, fund-raisers, press conferences, post-election
celebrations, and concession addresses) while on a United States military installation, which includes
overseas installations and areas under the control of combat or peacekeeping forces of the United
States military.
2.4. National Guard armories and other state facilities will review applicable state law for guidance
and restrictions.
2.5. Definition of political campaigns and elections. A political campaign or election begins when a
candidate, including an incumbent officeholder, makes a formal announcement that he or she seeks to
be elected to a federal, state, or local political office. A political campaign or election also begins when
an individual files for candidacy with the Federal Election Commission or equivalent state or local
regulatory office. Once initiated, a political campaign or election does not end until one week after the
conclusion of the relevant election.
2.6. Support of Political Activities by DoD Personnel.
2.6.1. The DoD has a longstanding policy of encouraging DoD personnel (including members of the
Armed Forces on active duty (AD), members of the reserve components (RC) not on AD, and retired
members) to carry out the obligations of citizenship. However, active duty members should not engage
in partisan political activities and should avoid the inference that their political activities imply or appear
to imply DoD sponsorship, approval, or endorsement. Political activity by members of the Armed Forces
continues to be governed by reference (c). Political activity by federal civilian personnel continues to be
governed by references (d) and (e).
2.6.2. Public commentary and endorsement. Any activity that may be reasonably viewed as directly
or indirectly associating with the DoD, or any component or personnel of the department, with a
partisan political activity or is otherwise contrary to the spirit and intention of this policy guidance will
be avoided. Public commentary, distribution of campaign literature, and other forms of permissible and
prohibited partisan political activity are detailed further in the references listed in section one of this
PAG.

You are so full of shit. The patch is NOT political.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Proving exactly why snowflakes are called just that - 'snowflakes', the easily-offended, hyper-sensitive, fragile dears became emotionally triggered at the sight of a 'Make Airmen Great Again' morale patch worn by military members onboard the USS Wasp during a visit by their Commander and Chief.

As usual, these ticking emotional time-bombs just 'self-detonated' before troubling themselves with finding out the facts, instead becoming faux news-spreading anti-Trump triggered 'jihadis'....

The leftists became equally triggered earlier when military personnel at a base in Iraq the President visited were seen carrying / wearing 'MAGA' hats at that event... I guess the offended leftists forgot the facts explained to them after that incident:

"The U.S. Air Force later said the airmen were not in violation of the UCMJ. “There is no rule against Airmen bringing personal items to be signed by the president,” U.S. Air Forces Europe said in a statement."

Sorry, folks - Nothing to see here...just another 'triggered snowflake' report...

Wearing something on your uniform is not the same as bring a personal item to be signed by the POTUS. Even as ******* stupid as you are, you should be able to see the difference.

There is no such thing as moral patch, that is some made up bullshit.

Once again for those like you who never served, the UCMJ does not deal with uniform regulations as they different from branch to branch.

Thank you for that wonderful triggered opinionated response, but I think I will stick with listening to what the US Air Force, USCENTCOM, and the military / DOJ says (feel free to actually open up and read the article) about the issue.



.

I posted a copy of the current NAVADMIN concerning whether or not these patches are legal in post 26. As that NAVADMIN is written, those patches are illegal.

You are making an ass out of yourself by assuming the patch is political.

Nice, but mediocre Photoshop.

I don't think they photoshopped that. Why would they?

when I was in the USMC, you couldn't just put anything on your uniform
there are rules

When you were a Marine, they wore leather collars!

It falls under Morale Patches. Here is the official ruling on Morale Patches. And you can see that these were obviously photoshopped in. They don't even come close to the criteria for morale patches.

Morale Patches and Tabs. Wing Commanders may authorize the wear of morale patches on the shoulders on Fridays, or during special events. AF Reserve and ANG personnel commanders may authorize wear during weekend drills on Friday, Saturday or Sundays or during special events. A morale patch is defined as a design symbol locally developed and displayed. A morale patch will not depict a current or past official organizational emblem or any alteration thereof. Small morale tabs may be worn above unit patch on the exposed Velcro of the left sleeve; wear is not restricted. Squadron Commanders will approve and maintain a list of acceptable morale patches and tabs for wear by assigned Airmen. Morale patches may only be worn on the installation.\shitpost

Hey dumbass, those are NAVY personnel. If you had a point, your ignorance just blew it out of the water!

THUS 'THE UNIT COMMANDER'S DISCRETION'...

(& when were you in last?)

I find it numerous that snowflakes are triggered and find it to be a capitol offense for a member of the United States Military to show support / loyalty for his commander and chief ...

Probably because it is being exposed how so much disloyalty and an attempted failed coup is all that has come from the left for the last 3 years

Those would fall into the Morale side of things and clearly do not meet the criteria. No Unit would be caught dead wearing that. That is, unless their Wing King wanted his Job come morning.

So tell me, did you get discharged from the Navy last week?

If not, STFU until you know something.

Why do you think it is a photoshopped picture?

It is obvious and so easy to do. Plus, servicemen aren't stupid, they wouldn't do something like that knowing they'll face discipline.

Sorry, I am 'guilty' of leaving off the 'e' -- my bad. I know how the slightest things set you snowflakes off...

"Morale patches are patches troops wear on their uniforms designed to be a funny inside joke, applicable only to their specific unit or military career field. They are usually worn during deployments, but the wear of morale patches is at the discretion of the unit's commander."

Morale Patches actually have a rather long history in the military....but that can't possibly be, right, because you know everything and declared there to be no such thing...?!

Well, I stand corrected. I guess I should not be surprised the other branches let their people put that nasty shit on their uniform.

Reason number 1487 why I joined the Corps

Morale patches also cannot have Political leanings. The one that was featured certainly did. If that was real, the Wing King would be packed and headed for the sub basement of the Pentagon by 0700 the next morning.

Once more the Air Farce dumbass comments. That "wing commander" is probably relaxing in his hammock at his home here in the States!

How about because they won't?

F'n military uniforms will look like billboards if they dont stop that bullshit

Right right... so forcing cadets to wear red high heels was somehow acceptable to the last administration. See, this is the type of thing people are talking about when they say. Make America Great Again....for one, stop the political over correctness.

What "sort of thing"?

You have never seen morale patches? You must not get out much!

AR 670-1 Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia.
Its pretty specific on political endorsements while in uniform.

So the patches that the troops wear on their combat uniforms is illegal? I wish someone would tell the thousands or so that I have seen in the past 12 years.

What makes the patch political? Even if you believe it portrays Trump, has a likeness of the Commander in Chief, not a presidential candidate.

What part of PHOTOSHOPPED is not clear?

How desperate are the Progressives to feebly try to make something out of a worthless photoshopped photo?

Well..it seems..odd..that the DoD wold be investigating a photo-shopped picture:

U.S. service members seen wearing MAGA-inspired patches at Trump speech may have violated DOD rules

They were forced to address the faux outrage and excessive triggered offense taken by snowflakes...

Americans should know by now that almost every accusation the left makes regarding Trump turns out to be false, manufactured, 'photo-shopped' / illegal FISA Abuse warrant requests / etc... This has just turned out to be just another one of those times...

The problem we have here is that almost everything that Trump has been accused of he has done. And you don't give a damned. Shameful, just shameful.

Hold your pillow real tight when you cry yourself to sleep over the patches.

the Army had much more crap on their uniforms
....no--no unit in the USMC grunts had any extra crap on their uniforms --especially ad hoc/invented/etc ....it was rank on the collars, ''USMC" and name on camos
..dress uniforms medals/rank/....6th Marines could wear the Fourragere --that was won in WW1--this was not some add on/thought up deal

It wasn't raining at Arlington but it was raining in Florida. Trump was shamed into doing this unlike last year.

Thanks for the worthless comentary, Daryl cHunt.

Anyone who is ever been in the Navy knows that while board ship the uniform standards are a bit more lax than when on shore. You can get away with wearing things that you aren't allowed to wear while on liberty.
