Likewise, hello everyone, I hope you're all well. Sorry to hear about your dogs Oliver :(
Sorry for not joining in of late, our daughter is now ~6 months old, and still not sleeping much (but generally very happy, as are we), and work has been hectic (as ever!) so I've not had much time to think about GI Joe/customs/etc., but hope to get back to it now that work is quieter (fingers crossed!)

so I am wondering would someone be interested in helping me figure this out?
Duke has wings on the right side of his shirt is this because he can fly all types of planes? does it have to do with flying? would every member of joe that can fly need them? also not sure if it is true but I am reading that dress greens "The Army Green Service Uniform will be withdrawn after July 2014." The Army White Service Uniform will be withdrawn after July 2014 anyone know why? and if your like me what do you think about this? |

The Wings are his Airborne Parachute wings (badge), although they seem more like Marine than Army

The Army White Service Uniform will be withdrawn after July 2014 anyone know why? and if your like me what do you think about this? Jump Wings/Airborne Wings - in ANY branch of service - are worn on the LEFT side. And Loose is righ, they look a little more like Marine Jump Wings... which are not worn in the Army, unless the soldier in question is a prior service Marine or Sailor who earned USMC/Navy jump wings and later enlisted in the Army. I've seen that one time. Right side Jump Wings are only to be worn on a soldier's dress uniform and they are for foreign service jump wings. So if a Green Beret did an exchange with the SAS and went through their airborne school, those wings could be worn on the U.S. Soldier's dress uniform jacket. This is fairly common in Special Operations. There are all kinds of foreign service awards that you see when the dress uniforms come out. The official limit is one foreign service award may be displayed at a time... lots of guys have several that they rotate. I can only think that Hasbro originally did this because Duke bandoleir covers his other pocket, and they wanted jump wings to be visible. It's always bothered me, and it's become sort of an inside joke with my brother and me. Here's a picture of me from last Halloween in my custom G.I. Joe costume. You'll notice that I have about 4 foreign service "jump wings" on my right pocket... that's in honor of Duke's misplaced Jump wings. There are a lot of little details on this costume that are sort of an inside joke for Joe fans. This was the first time I'd been in BDU's in a long time... and it was a scary reminder that I've got to get back in shape... so please pardon the fat guy in uniform. My dog "Elvis" is filling in for Junkyard in the last picture.
