Pechs, the starfield goes at the front, as if the rest of the flag
were blowing as you walk forward. If it appears to be blowing the
other way, that means you're retreating.

Speaking of that, some guys like to wear their state flags on their
right shoulder on flight suits. Invariably it is a "left shoulder"
flag, and I try not to pass up the opportunity to tease them about
this- in a good natured way of course

One last thing, it seems to me that an awful lot of law enforcement
agencies wear the "retreating" flag. Maybe it is supposed to
symbolize something, but I think it's just one of those things and
nobody in charge realizes it.
