I see them posted wrong sometimes and wanted to help everyone out.
This is for the Army as non of the other branches have been made yet. First off, almost all patches should be in their subdued (non-bright) colors when wearing their uniforms. Only dress uniforms should use the brighter colored versions. Here is the order from Right to Left: Right Shoulder Top - Reversed American Flag (Momentum Forward) as we are in wartime. - Regular American Flag Right Shoulder Bottom - Shoulder Sleeve Insignia-Former Wartime Service (SSI-FWS) can be worn by all Joes as they have been sdeployed in combat zones for 30 days or more. Usually the same as the left SSI. Right Chest - Code Name Tape (GI Joe is a Unit where you don't exist, therefor code name should be used.)[/U] - Surname Tape -------------------------------------------------------------------- Left Shoulder Top - Individual Skill You can wear up to 3 at a time: (For Example: Special Forces/Ranger) Left Shoulder Bottom - Mountain Tab on top of the SSI - Shoulder Sleeve Insignia (SSI) aka the Formation patch. Left Chest - G.I. Joe - Armed forces Branch Tape (US ARMY)

Actually, and this is my "Joe-geekness", the "Mountain" tab is not a "Special Qualification" Tab. It is part of the unit patch. The "Airborne" tab is the same way. You are however correct regarding the amount of Special Qualification tabs an individual can wear. The authorized Special Qualification tabs are "President's Hundred", "Special Forces", "Ranger", and "Sapper". All of that being said, if a Soldier is a former Ranger & Sapper qualified Green Beret currently on orders assigned to the 10th Mtn LRS. Then his left Shoulder would look something like:

Good to know gentlemen...I was just gonna email one of my buddies in the Army about this. I always used code names instead of surnames because of G.I. Joe being a top secret force. However, I do use the "G.I. Joe" patch on the left shoulder on all my Joes instead of the left chest. I normally display the U.S. Army patch there.
The problem I have now is the mini-patches that came with the figures separating from the Velcro...
