The raspberry piping was changed for red in 1980.

So, how do you explain that a pre-1980 medical uniform has red piping?

The raspberry piping that was used for medical service from 1969 was changed for red in 1980. I think medical personnel assigned to other units, maybe they could use the branch color of that unit, which would explain other pipings. If I am wrong, then please by all means enlighten us with your knowledge.

laurel leaves are silvered? I do have a naval engineer: gold leaves, hammer and wrench on shoulder boards, but silver cap insignia like yours...

Colonel of Medical Service shoulderboards. I have a lot more but I have to scan them. I'll do it over the weekend. I also have a lot of shoulderboards for other branches.
