Other than he's a phony - his uniform hat depends on when he retired - if he is retired.

I do believe under AR 670-1 a soldier who retired is authorized to wear the last uniform he was wearing at the time of retirement. AR 670-1 has a whole chapter on retired folks - even the patch they should wear on their left shoulder. I have never seen that patch on anyone's uniform and I ain't gonna' correct 'um because mine don't either.

But the whole concept of the SF & Ranger Tabs with a non-SF Ranger patch, the overseas cap, eeee gads makes my skin crawl.

Oh, buy the way - I had to buy one of those hats when I went to the El Paso School for Boys in 1990.
