    Thanks Ladrang ! Do you think that's a great idea to add number on each of them and write their unit's name ? Maybe it can serve as reference for uniforms of members of this forum ? What do you think about that ?

    I began to collect desert patches when I was a young boy, around 14-15 years old...now, here's the result ten years after...









    I'm proud of my collection considering they are desert patches, so not the most common insignia (they are less common than subdued green or colored)... :thumbsup: But there're still some more I search to complete it. If you have any that miss me, please tell me ! Wink

    Including the tabs and helmet patches, I've just 400 patches ! You can see them one by one here :
    [url="https://picasaweb.google.com/115676485434952435604/DesertPatchesDCUUniformOIFOEF#"]https://picasaweb.google.com/11567648543495...UUniformOIFOEF#[/url]

    And here's a link where you can see my collection of desert badges (ranks, qualification badges, BOS,...) :

    Hope you'll appreciate them !

    Because this thread has such great reference material, I have decided this post needs to be pinned so it doesn't get lost in the shuffle. I know I will be using this thread for my own personal reference.
