sigsaye Posted April 1, 2014 Share #1 Posted April 1, 2014 This was my hat device from my first hat. I bought it at the Navy Exchange at Service School Command San Diego in May or June of '75 while attending SM "A" School. It was a Bancroft. The hat made Chief with me and I changed out all the parts, for some reason I hung ont this and just found it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigsaye Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share #2 Posted April 1, 2014 This is the back. The frayed looking area is where the band is sewn together Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutiger83 Posted April 1, 2014 Share #3 Posted April 1, 2014 Very nice! Nothing like having something from your early days. Did you hang on to other items too? ....Kat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigsaye Posted April 1, 2014 Author Share #4 Posted April 1, 2014 Mostly just hung onto some rating badges. The uniforms wore out, and when I retired, I kept my nice dress blues and my dinner dress blues and left the rest behind for the other Chiefs. In Fact, the original set of blues I bought with the hat this device was on was still in use in '99 when I left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
