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.
