Section NE-3B Allohakasin Patches Regular and Staff

Back on March 1, 2007 I blogged on Allohakasin University Patches used by Section NE-3B.  I had acquired a patch that may have been from NE-3B, now I do not believe that the green and gold patch is from NE-3B, although I do have some updated information.

The purpose of the 2003 NE-3B Conclave report describes Allohakasin Patches and program as follows:

This year at conclave, we implemented a new training program. Allohakasin University was created by our Council of Chiefs to add a new twist to the traditional conclave training. We created five colleges to “major” in; by attending two of three sessions from a chosen college and one session from any college you could a degree. A General Studies degree could also be obtained by attending any three training sessions, no matter what college they were from. On Sunday morning, participants were presented with a diploma and patch if they met the requirements.

The patch pictured in the report has a white border, which I assume is the ‘regular’ patch awarded for completing training.

The 2004 NE-3B Conclave Report elaborates further:

This program was highly successful this year with many participants returning to earn a Bachelor’s Degree. A total of 132 degrees were presented. 74 Associate degrees were earned and 58 people returned to earn a Bachelor’s degree. Next year, the Masters degree will be available to those who have Bachelor’s standing. Trainers – professors – also receive a special edition of this patch and their own diploma. This year over 25 trainers received their special distinction during the Business Meeting.

The 2006 NE-3B Conclave Report explains:

28 trainers – professors – received a special edition of the university patch with a silver mylar
border and their own diploma. They received this distinction during the Business Meeting.

Although difficult to tell in the scan, this patch has a silver mylar border.

Can anyone provide information on any other border colors which may exist?

  1. There are currently 5 different color borders that I am aware of. Each is representative of a “degree” of training a partcicpant has completed.

    The list looks something like this:

    White – “Associate Degree”
    Red – “Bachelor’s Degree”
    Dk. Blue – “Master’s Degree”
    Yellow – “Doctorate”
    Silver Mylar – “Proffessor” (Training staff)

    Right now I’m not sure if any other border colors were issued.

  2. Chris,
    Thanks for the information, anyone have the Red, Dark Blue and/or yellow borders for trade?
