Short answer is Yes. Any legal military order given by any service person to any junior rank, regardless of Service, must be obeyed. What about the poppy. Why is it significant? Long known as the corn poppy because it flourishes as a weed in grain fields, the Flanders poppy as it is now usually called, grew profusely in the trenches and craters of the war zone. Artillery shells and shrapnel stirred up the earth and exposed the seeds to the light they needed to germinate.

Air Force personnel have to shave as described above. Navy personnel may make application to grow a beard. If/when granted they are then NOT ALLOWED to shave for a set period.

All Air Force units (numbered flights and squadrons) and establishments (groups and above) are authorized an emblem. However, not all units have a patch produced. Most flying units will have a patch made, but many non-flying units will not. If a unit is not authorized to wear a patch on the uniform then obviously there is no justification for spending the money. Although not officially authorized a distinctive emblem, detachments, flights, and sections often have patches made up.

The answer is maybe. Back in the good 'ol days Air Force units would often give patches out on request. Unfortunately, because of shrinking budget, Air Force units can no longer afford to send out patches to everybody that requests them. If you do write a unit, more than likely your letter will be forwarded to the base public affairs office who will send you a list of companies that sell patches.

If the unit is still active you can write it. You will want to write either the historian or public affairs. Use the following address format: Inquiries should include as much info as possible about the unit and parent units. If you e-mail a request, be sure to include your mailing address as most of the Agency's materials cannot currently be sent via e-mail.

Note: The carrier may have a similar requirement for claims under FRV shipments.

Most units don't, but there are some that do. In most cases, official unit patches are procured with government-appropriated funds. In these cases, the units are not allowed to resale items purchased with government funds (they can go to jail for that). Sometimes however members of a unit will chip in their own money or use the coffee fund to buy extra patches that the unit will resale.

TERA retirees are eligible for CRDP, but they are not eligible for CRSC (CRSC requires 20 years of service).
