Having received the honorary right to wear a string with the next military rank, a soldier (corporal, sergeant, foreman) must know how these insignia can be attached to his epaulettes. Indeed, among the military, every small detail of uniform or ammunition plays a huge role. To violate the unwritten laws of army fashion means to become the subject of numerous ridicule and pangs.
You will need
- - an awl or a large needle;
- - a pencil or piece of chalk with which you designate places for holes on the pursuit.
Instruction manual
1
Pick the tags that match your new rank and type of uniform. In the field, insignia should be “mined” in the warehouse; in a large garrison, you can visit the local voentorg. For the field form, the gray-green color lines merging with it are provided, for the front form - shiny golden. Do not forget that in the armed forces nowadays, “angles” are accepted everywhere, and not the transverse stripes that decorated the epaulettes of Soviet troops, and now are used only in the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
2
Take the epaulette on which you want to attach the tabs (well, if it is not yet sewn to your uniform). Before you make a hole in it, you need to figure out where the legs of the bast will fall. Therefore, first bend these legs so that they form a right angle with the tabs themselves, and then put them on the shoulder strap, noting at what point each leg abuts and marking these points with a pencil.
3
Make holes in pursuit using an awl or any other sharp tool. Try to keep the holes small and neat - in this case, they will not be noticeable, and the tabs will then hold on tightly. If you fasten the tabs to a false field dropper, then you do not need to pierce it through - just make a hole in the upper part, which then remains above the shoulder strap itself.
4
Insert the legs of the tabs into the holes you made in pursuit. Make sure that the tabs fit tightly on the pursuit, and then bend the legs so that they return to their original position (parallel to the surface of the strap). On this, work on fastening the tabs on shoulder straps is almost completed, it remains only to attach the shoulder strap to the uniform (if it has not already been sewn to it) and evaluate your appearance with new insignia and a new military rank.
Useful advice
Bend the legs of the tabs smoothly and accurately - they are known for their fragility and can easily break off, for the same reason try not to change their position more than once.
