That clears it up... "Shoulder Sleeve Insignia. Description: On a black oval with a 3/16 inch (.48cm) yellow braided inner border and a 1/8 inch (.32cm) overedge outer border, 2 5/8 inches (6.67cm) in width and 3 1/4 inch (8.26cm) in height overall, a yellow finial spearhead with three yellow bands issuing from base. Attached immediately above as an integral part of the insignia, a black arc tab 1 1/16 inches (2.70cm) in width 2 1/2 inches (6.35cm) in length, containing the inscription "AIRBORNE" 5/16 inch (.79cm) in height in yellow letters."

Yep. I was wondering since I am a leg, if the airborne tab is worn with it. When you get them, they come with the tab. Don't want to be wearing shit I ain't earned. Aviator I wore this for nearly two years at Bragg and never got anywhere near an airplane

I think that the gold spear on a black oval is not service specific as SOCOM is joint service. The Black dagger on a red arrow head (obviously taken from the US/Canadian 1st Special Service Group in WWII) is for US Army Special Operations Command (USASOC), Ft. Bragg, NC which is the US Army's subordinate unit within SOCOM. The US Army Infantry School doesn't look anything like that. Wrong colors (blue and white), wrong background device (shield not arrowhead), bayonet not a dagger.
