Does it by any chance mean he was a marine, or that he is stationed with an Army unit? I was recently at the post exchange and saw a random soldier walk by and his combat patch was an enlarged EGA. Can anyone please help me out?
Soldiers that served with Marine units in combat can wear the insignia of the Marine unit they are assigned with.
That said it requires authorization from DA and must be in your 201 before you put it on.
I was looking at some pictures of marines and they are wearing a patch on there chest that appears to have there name rank and regiment with the eagle globe and anchor on it
any info will help.
There is no standardized patch.
Some units provide them, and they tend to have the Eagle Globe and Anchor (see Gump's answer) in the center, the Marine's name, blood type, and MEDEVAC roster number.

The ferocity of the Pacific war almost defied the available military technology. In this environment the evolving use of tanks by the US Marine Corps played a significant role; at the end of the Battle of Okinawa, Major General Lemuel Shepherd wrote in his report that 'if any one supporting arm can be singled out as having contributed more than any others during the progress of the campaign, the tank would certainly be selected.' This book traces the history of the US Marine Corps tank crewman, including the significant changes in doctrine, equipment, and organization that the war brought, and his experience fighting in the Pacific theater.
Meet Councilman Tim Killingsworth
The year is 1983. In the heat of July, in the city of Macon, Tim Killingsworth decides to leave his job as a route salesman for Coca Cola and joins the Marine Corps Reserve.
“(I) chased a childhood dream," he says.
Killingsworth went through basic training at the famed Parris Island. He served as an Aircraft Engine Mechanic for two years, between 1983 and 1985. In September of 1985, he went into active duty, though he was not called into combat.
“Many times I was on a tarmac, getting ready to go somewhere during the Gulf War,” he says. His unit was often prepared for mobilization, but they were never deployed.
Killingsworth retired from the Marine Corps after serving for over 12 years. During his time of service, he earned the rank of Staff Sergeant. After retiring, he worked as a recruiter for several years, eventually running his own firm until 2009.
