Paul,

PS. Paul, after a quick check i am fairly sure this veteran served at the Dong Ba Thin Training Centre.

 

He was there from February 72' to February 73' in an Intel capacity.

Nice uniform!

 

Here are a couple of photos in my collection from a vet who served with the Long Hai Training Battalion, FANK in 1972.

Very nice photos Beast.

 

Can you make out what the tabs on the boonies are on the original at all?

 

Nice to see some badged Cambodian shirts too.

Heres one that I got from Bob a few years ago, I replaced the name strip with a PARKER one, supposedly this shirt belonged to Larry Dring

close up showing the wings and CMB and CIB

Was that reg back then? I think now it is one or the other.

Thanks Patrick. I can't make out the tabs, but I will try to make larger scans and see if I can make them out.

Both together?

I always thought it was one or the other, not both on the same uniform. I could be wrong though.

Paul,

your jacket is Dring's, no doubt. I have three Dring's OG-107 shirts and one ERDL and they are all patched up with the same qualification badges and Cambodian wings.

Where did you get yours ? Shame about the name, you should have tried to have DRING tape re-done.

I bought that DRING shirt at a gun show in San Francisco in the 80's, forgot what I paid for it, I also forgot that I owned that shirt and the other one Paul posted.
