Question about the patch/tab

Once you complete the 18x pipeline are you awarded the special forces tab with the patch(the sword with lightning blots)? I ask because I was looking on SFCOMMO and saw a picture of a SF Soldier with the Airborne tab with the patch( sword with lightning bolts).

I wonder if something has recently changed. Its my understanding they would issue the patch (beret) after Robin Sage. Now apparently that has been changed to after SERE training.

The beret is not a "patch" is not a Tab.

The change is to issue the quals after the end of the pipeline.
