CDRODA,
thank you for your reply. I have the utmost respect for what you guys endure and if someone was in fact attached and earned the patch I would not have an issue with that as I am sure they are on top of their field being attached to you guys.
Reason why I am questioning it is because my old national guard brigade deployed and I have only seen 2 soldiers come back with the SOCOM patch. I am friends with one of the guys in charge of the section and questioned him about it and he shook his head saying they didn't get awarded the patch and that they were tasked to inventory the serial of some SF guys because they didn't have a property officer
All in all I have spoken with the Soldier and I didn't get a good vibe when I was feeling him out about it. Whim better to ask these questions than a forum of Silent professionals with more experience on this subject.
As far as MOB orders I know from my own experience that not all commands I fell under are listed there. Halfway through my deployment we had a COC and BDE took charge.
