Thanks Tex. Now the big question. How in God's name do you wear something on
your left sleeve 5-6 days a week for 4+ years and find yourself unable to
accurately describe it?

Simple, you tend to tune it out after awhile and most people simply don't
notice. I used to wear a TAC patch with the sword in the wrong direction and no
one noticed. Right now I couldn't tell you which way its supposed to go without
looking it up.
There were several unauthorized SAC patches that were popular: mailed fist
making the one finger salute, holding a scrotum, marijuana leaves etc. I think
I may have seen one where "Strategic Air Command" was replaced by "SACumsized."
Over seas flight crew name tags were quite creative. I knew a Capt. Tomato at
Hahn AB whose name tag read "Rotten" where his name should have been, and that
was one of the few clean ones.
