"Hey Max, here is a chance to get a "DISTINGUISHED" tab.
DISTINGUISHED"
"Here are links to all the 2ACR qualification patches I found.
1978 Support Gunnery
1976 Support Gunnery
1976 Distinguished Gunnery
1981 Subaltern Shoot Qualified
3/2ACR Gunnery with Qualified 77 and Platoon Eval 77 tabs
2/2ACR with ARTEP and SUPPORT…"
"If that's as close as I can get, snag it for me or tell me where I can get it. I was still in the Regiment in '81 and we qualified Distinguished (in '79), so I guess its not a case of "stolen valor"."
"And this one."
"Found some more on eBay but this was as close as I could get."
"I'll keep my eyes open, Max. I looked yesterday and all the 2ACR patches were gone and only 3ACR and 11ACR patches were left. I think there was one '78 SUPPORT patch from 2ACR."

"What exactly are you looking for? There are a few assorted 2ACR qualification patches on eBay right now, and others come up from time to time. Something along this line?"
"Subaltern Shoot" Tank Gunnery Qualification Patches?
I'm trying to replicate a "tankers jacket" complete with the right patches. In the late 70s and early 80s when we qualified our tanks, we received pocket patches based on our scores, i.e. Qualified, Distinguished, or Superior. Any ideas where I might find just the patch? I really don't want to buy Lt Doyle's field jacket off of ebay.See More

Good Day,
How is everything with you, I picked interest on you after going through your short profile and deemed it necessary to write you immediately. I have something very vital to disclose to you, but I found it difficult to express myself here, since it's a public site.Could you please get back to me on:( officialaishacbdd@gmail.com ) for the full details.
Have a nice day
Thanks God bless
Aisha.

This was the third design of the 2d Cavalry DUI, worn from 1924-1931. The sharp points on the ends of the bottom scroll again called for a redesign.
