Some assignments are permanent. Others end with paperwork.
The DD-214 Duty Identifier Patch is a tongue-in-cheek nod to the most powerful document in the U.S. military—your official proof that you’ve served, survived, and successfully exited the circus.

Designed as a classic duty identifier patch, this fully embroidered patch features “DD-214” in correct OCP-approved colors, making it look right at home next to real name tapes and career fields—except this one tells a very different story. Whether you’re retired, separated, or just counting the days, this patch lets everyone know your current duty status: civilian, finally.

Built to Military Standards

This patch is 100% embroidered for a clean, professional look with excellent durability. The stitching provides sharp lettering and a textured finish that holds up to daily wear on range bags, plate carriers, backpacks, hats, or morale panels.

The Velcro hook backing allows for quick attachment and removal, making it perfect for swapping in and out depending on mood, event, or how much sarcasm you’re feeling that day.
