Talk:Distinctive unit insignia

message: "On the beret flash of enlisted personnel"  Is this still accurate? I have seen in other sources that the DUI is no longer authorized for wear on the beret. ?? Venqax (talk) 21:32, 14 February 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  Wear 

message: Many of the links for DUIs come within WP:ELNO #13. Would Global Security.org be allowed in the EL section? The GS links to individual units happen to display DUIs for the units, but simply putting the name of a unit in the 'Examples' section with a link to GS is poor presentation. The http://www.militarymuseum.org/ link goes to the California Military Museum, and would be better placed in EL section. Everyone who served with pride in their unit would love to see their unit's DUI in the gallery, but if they do they should load up proper images.  Even so, the Examples section might become an endless listing of images.  At present, even without actual images, this section is WP:NOTGALLERY.--S. Rich (talk) 16:15, 30 December 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Examples section -- DUI not available links 

message: Now that the galleries have been removed, perhaps there should be a link to a WikiCommons Gallery with all the images that use to exist on this page?--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 16:57, 8 July 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Galleries removed 

message: Since my correction was reverted by RightCowLeftCoast, I will address it here.  The article refers to wearing the DUI on shoulder marks; the DUI is not worn on shoulder marks, it is worn on the jacket "shoulder loops" for enlisted and officer (O-6 and below) on the Class A Army Green Uniform, and for enlisted personnel when wearing the Class A Army Service Uniform.  I erroneously stated they were worn on the epaulette.  If there are no objections here, I will make the correction again and cite AR 670-1.  Kintrix (talk) 22:48, 4 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the correction, and the inclusion of source, perhaps a url link for the source would be useful to readers. Also thanks for serving.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 06:31, 5 February 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Shoulder Marks vs. Shoulder Loops 

message: * "Unit designations, numerals, letters, geographical outlines, reproductions of other insignia will not be included as part of the design." Many insignia include symbols reflecting the numerical designation. I noted this in passing to day regarding an artillery regiment where the roundels were the number of the regiment. I can't remember the unit, but it was in . The 55th Maintenance Battalion is another example where the original design includes micrometers resembling "55".
* "Once a distinctive unit insignia is approved it is changed only when a heraldic or historical error is found." When the 55th Maintenance Battalion was reactivated in 1982 a new DUI was designed, reflecting support of the Pershing missile. TIOH still has the old DUI on record for some reason.
* McKenney is a good source for insignia in vector form. 
*  is another good source for vector.
* Others in the lineage series may have vector images. Not the ADA document though.
