mvmhm Posted February 18, 2017 Share #1 Posted February 18, 2017 A man dropped in to do a Drive By Donation..he'll be back with more when he has time. He went to basic training in 1962, then to Vietnam in 1964/65, and ended his hitch as an MP at Quantico. There's a wide cariety of 'stuff", and I can't wait to see what comes next. Here's some unissued chevrons, his MP armband, and his dress belt, which is covered in plastic..he also modified the buckle by beveling the outer edges...
