Steve:
My comments about being "tabbed" were directed at Leozinho, not at you. Sorry if that wasn't clear.

I think that is why Crip typed "Leo:" just above that comment.
'84 was a good year to graduate, BTW.

Actually I was not Tabbed in 84. I was awarded skill Identifier of "S" there was no Tab. Sorry for the inacurate statement.

Actually in Early 84, I got both the "S" and the Tab - tabs were put on with safety pins just prior to graduation. Sound right to you TR, TS, NDD? Got orders for both too, and then orders to 18 series later that year or early 85.

The Chief of Staff, Army, approved the cloth SF tab in June 1983 and the metal replica on 25 November 1984.

As a result of renewed emphasis on special operations in the 1980s, the Special Forces Branch was established as a basic branch of the Army effective April 9, 1987, by General Orders No. 35, June 19, 1987.

I don't remember the exact dates of when the SF Tabs came out, I'm sure someone on here will know. I was already wearing a green beret (since May 83) and really didn't care about "no stinking badges"....
