[quote="Reiben[USMC]":c757f]Thanks a lot Hawke, but it sounds pretty damn complicated. I'm working on v1.2 of the 2nd Ranger BN Veteran Medic Skin. So far, I have taken out the patches above his medic armbands (pretty easy, all i had to do was take some of his shirt and copy it right over the patch), i have put a medic insignia on his pouch, and added blood to it (not too much), and when I finish it, I will post more pictures and await more suggestions. BTW, anyone know if (im trying to make this skin reflect a real medic in the 2 RBN) the medics had two armbands, or one on their left and nothing on their right, or one on their right and nothing on their left, or on both arms? And if they only have one armband on the left or right arm, did they have their rank on the other arm? Yeah, that's complicated too, and YES I have tried G00gle, but to no avail. I know a good amount of history myself, but not about medics. There was some stuff about the Geneva Convention where medics had to wear something that actually identified themselves as medics, so im not sure what they wore and where they wore it.[/quote:c757f]
I'm pretty sure they didn't have rank patches because they had the red cross to signify what they were. And I'm almost certain that;s it's only the left arm they have the cross on. I might be wrong though.
