A newbie question about the DEU tunic.

[BurnDoctor]

Newly sworn in and just freshly issued my DEU.  I suspect this will all become clear to me when the tunic comes back from the tailor, but I am curious about having been issued 8 buttons (the four front, two pocket, two shoulder), but only 6 ring toggle fasteners.  Clearly, I realize that there's a reason for everything and that the DEU issue process is a well-oiled machine and that there's simple a reason for this that will become clear in time. I guess I'm just too curious to wait a week until the tunic's back to figure it out - would a seasoned, savvy member enlighten me as to how the other two buttons stay on? Thanks!

If its an army DEU, the shoulder ones are sewn on.  The others are held on with the rings.
