They slipped this one in under the radar:
- The uniform items described in the specifications listed below are no longer approved for purchase as of the date listed beside them. Members who currently own/possess any item listed in this directive may continue to wear that item until it is no longer serviceable. Items listed in this directive that are no longer serviceable will be replaced by an item that meets the most current uniform specification, if applicable.
And on the list:
- Item H. U16.0122D - Vest Carrier Embroidered Patches (Rescinded 10 February 2012 by U06-04-03
Item I. U16.0122E - Outer Garment Embroidered Patches (Rescinded 10 February 2012 by U06-04-03
Go to the Department Directives and look up Uniform and Property U06-06 for details. It's like they want to get rid of all of J-Fled's fingerprints on the Department.
