AFRC postpones mandatory wear of command patch

  • Published
ROBINS AIR FORCE BASE, Ga. --  Air Force Reserve Command has postponed the mandatory wear of the AFRC patch on battle dress uniforms and flight suits until May 1.

AFRC unit reservists were supposed to start wearing the patch Oct. 1, but command officials delayed it because of a lack of patches.

As of Sept. 11, the command had about one-fourth of the patches it needed, according to Col. William F. Nadolski, deputy director of manpower and personnel at AFRC headquarters, in a memo to wing commanders and manpower officials.

"As patches are issued, members are expected to wear them on their uniforms as soon as possible," Colonel Nadolski said in the memo. "Extending the wear date will allow additional time for remaining ordered patches to be delivered to the distribution point and disseminated to the field for issue." (AFRC News Service)
