@williemetoyer1 The reason for the flag worn on the right shoulder looking backwards to you is, a flag in an advancing position as it would be viewed on a staff advancing into battle from the right...If it were worn in the other direction, it would be a retreating flag...My Army doesn't retreat...Now you know
@MasterBlaster82d sounds like bullshit to me with all the rules abvout the flag not touching the ground and stuff thiis does not seem to fit with tradition at all
@williemetoyer1 Chapter 1, Title 4, United States Code, The full-color U.S. flag cloth replica is worn so that the star field faces forward, or to the flag’s own right. When worn in this manner, the flag is facing to the observer’s right, and gives the effect of the flag flying in the breeze as the wearer moves forward.
@williemetoyer1 The rule dates back to the Army's early history, when both mounted cavalry and infantry units would designate a standard bearer, who carried the Colors into battle. As he charged, his forward momentum caused the flag to stream back. Since the Stars and Stripes are mounted with the canton closest to the pole, that section stayed to the right, while the stripes flew to the left. If you care to remain ignorant, that's your option
presents the Past as a Prologue to the future exploring the usefulness of military history while illustrating remarkable individuals, leadership skills and contributions made by the USA Army.

By 1943 standard in today’s dollars a Second Lieutenant’s pay and combat bonus amounted to 6,415 dollars per month. A Major with sufficient time-in-service with combat pay, amounted to 11,604 dollars per month.
HDIP for a paratrooper or aircrew pay for a Second Lieutenant was 3,774 per month in today’s dollars. A Major’s aircrew incentive pay was 5,660 per month in today’s dollars.
They only way up the chain by 1943 standard, was to command.
Ok I know times have changed but we use to empty a C141 over sicily in 52seconds. When the doors opened we jerked on the anchor line so hard, yelling that we actually broke one one time. Those were the days, Bde mass attacks were beyond incredible to see or be in. However I dont miss being the RTO with a PRC 77 and KY, to all who are still serving, thanks, god bless and Airborne all the way!! 3/504 S2

@jballzzz By 1943 standard in today’s dollars a PFC’s pay, foreign duty and combat bonus amounted to 2,943 dollars per month. Sergeant with sufficient time-in-service and assuming sharpshooter, amounted to 4,185 dollars per month.
Hazardous Duty Incentive Pay for a paratrooper was 1,887 per month in today’s dollars. A PFC’s aircrew Incentive Pay was 940 dollars a month, and that was 1,320 dollars per month for a Sergeant.
