According to the Associated Press, the Navy is looking into whether the airmen may have breached dress code protocol.
“In a brief statement Tuesday, the Navy said only that the matter was under review by Navy leadership to ensure that the wearing of the patches did not violate policy or regulations,” reported the AP Tuesday.
