Badges Arrangement

Hi all,

In this post I will explain to you how to pin up the badges you attained from courses/activities.

Below are pictures that will show you the correct arrangement of badges.

(Note: You may not have some the badges shown in the pictures yet)

Figure 1(Right Chest) Figure 2(Left Chest)

As you can see, round badges(non-ncc courses) will be placed on your right chest(Figure1), above the name tag. Total defence badges should be placed on the right pocket flap.

On your left chest, shield badges (e.g PART B Proficiency Badge, Orienteering badge) should be on top of the Singapore tag. Depending on the no. of badges you have, you are to center it. PART B proficiency should be place nearest to the buttons followed by adventure, expedition badge and the orienteering badge should be placed nearest to your left sleeves. The Army-NCC badge should be on top of the shield badges and centered.

For you NAPFA badge place it on your left sleeve's rank.
