[philmont] uniform pants news

The Bull is not supposed to go on the khaki scout shirt unless it will fit
on the right front pocket were temporary insignia go. The red jacket is not
part of the field uniform so good taste should be your main guide. The
official scout uniform is socks, pants, belt, & shirt. If you start putting
unofficial patches on your shirt you are no longer in uniform. Try showing
up in basic training with a boy scout flag on your military uniform. I do
not see this an issue of respect or lack of respect for anybody in uniform
protecting our right to have this conversation.

For Steve MacIntyre:
 
What is a "spoof" patch of the bull? And you're telling us you wear it on
your Scout shirt? Do I have that right?

I wear my Philmont zipoff leg pants as "my" official uniform pants. As our
Scoutmaster told us once, when he was asked about "his" shirt that had a NON
OFFICIAL patch on it, "you are right its "MY" shirt! I wear a US FLAG
Desert Tan on my right shoulder with the Union, Canton or the stars in the
forward position closest to the Heart because this is the correct way to
wear a flag on a uniform. If you are in the group of this is not correct or
right, watch the news and look at the "KIDS" in Iraq in the US Military or
any where in the world protecting you and look at their right sleeve of
their shirt and see which way their flag is going, "FORWARD", this is the
only direction you should be going. As General George S. Patton Jr. said
once, "I do not like paying for the same ground twice".
 
I have 3 family members on the ground in Iraq at this time.
 
I also have the spoof patch of the BULL on my left shoulder just under the
seam of the sleeve.
 
 Yes, if you have a problem with this, you are correct "YOU" are the one
with the problem!
