Any silver instrument patches can go under your graduation year on the left arm

WGI, SCC, SJVCGPR, NCPA, and patches from other circuits can be added UNDERNEATH the BOA Patches

Collar (optional)

Pins can be attached to either the left or right collar

Other Notes/Recommendations

If you think you might move your patches around later, do NOT iron on your patches. The glue is very hard to remove and will damage the fabric if you try to remove it
If you would like to get your patches sewn on professionally, look for an alterations/tailor shop. Students in the past have gone to Sew-N-So Alterations, which have locations on Fowler & Herndon and Blackstone & Herndon
