Medina & Hidell - S3-E7

Upvote valid corrections to help move entries into the corrections section.

Suggested correction: The EGA's were stenciled iron-on's from a company called Ken Nolan. Their use was optional.

When were they optional? They weren't the first 5 years I was in prior to changing to name tapes in the early 90's.

They were optional when I was in from 1967 to 1970.

Nope. Marine order c-52178 states they must be marked.
