The phoenix patch is my unit patch as well. I can wear it as my combat patch, although since our Brigade is part of 36th ID, we are also authorized to wear their patch (the Texas T-patch).



Although I wear my combat patch from my first deployment in 2004, with 13th COSCOM (now they're known as 13th ESC).





That being said... I wish I could wear the MNC-I (although they've changed the title to "USF-I") patch, which is the subdued version of this:

Got a little update for everyone.

As of 27APR10, I am Staff Sergeant Hartl.

Got pinned this morning in our awards ceremony.
Great feeling moving up, too bad it's at the end of the deployment, and I have to go to the other side of the state for the position.

Thanks, I finish up my BNCOC in June, finish our re-integration drills in Sept, and then I get to start driving across the state for drill. I'm the motor Sergeant of a detachment. SO, about 40 people, and I'm the 3rd highest ranking there...

Yeah, I so don't envy you that job. I have enough on my hands with two Soldiers and a Major.
