I'm a dual-status technician, fed employee during the week but still required to wear fatigues. Yes it's dumb. The dress uniform issue is for Guard related activities.

Sewing patches is easy as long as nobody's going to be looking at the back side. Use a little fusible interfacing to hold it in place, pick thread that's a perfect match for the border thread and stitch it down.

Oh, it already looks like a uniform. Trouble is, it looks like the uniform of an unarmed corporate security guard/receptionist.
