US Army goes over your left pocket, your name goes over your right. The circular patch goes at the top of your left sleeve (shoulder). I'm not familiar with the actual patch but would be very surprised it's worn any way but with the sun coming up over the mountains.

Having said all that I'd be very surprised if anybody gave you any real grief if you show up without the patches sewn on and explain the situation.

Good luck in the Guard.

:) It is often the seemingly nondescript sentence in a paragraph that makes me smile or laugh. Nice touch.
