Yeah, me too.

Ideally, yes. That way you not only always look your best, but you can wear
a clean shirt more than one day at summer camp :).
<<Is it legal to "velcro" the badge of office onto the shirt? Then, I could
rip off one and slap on the other.>>
"Insignia Guide" mentions no such prohibition. A friend of mine who at one
time held 3-4 positions, as well as being on various training staffs
(staves?) constantly not only did this, but found velcro in khaki to match
the shirt! It adds a bit of bulk to the patch, but it works. However, as 2
of your positions are non-unit, you'll need to do your numbers as well as
offices.
<<Hmm, do I have to buy more epalets, too? >>
(Since I can't comment on grammer or spelling :)) No, the epaulets are part
of the shirt. However, you will need both red (SM) and silver (OA & RT Comm)
shoulder loops to wear on your epaulets. (Sorry, sometimes I just can't
resist the urge to pick the fly poop out of the pepper).
