Pack Rat

I think it's called ex-apprentice. Cheers, -D

The bottom OD patch is the same design for the 320th Field Artillery DI. The motto translates to "Willing and Able". Cheers, -D

I like that Combat Crew badge and the "pocket rocket" badge. Cheers, -D

Wow! What a cool story and a proud papa. Thanks for sharing and keep hunting for those SSI's. Cheers, -D

Thanks Ski. You are the best. Cheers, -D

Hey gang, I came across this patch in a lot I just purchased. It doesn't look American, but I asking for you opinion. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e314/Sun...GFREEDOM212.jpg It says Operation Enduring Freedom, but shows the Persian Gulf region. Anyone have an idea who issued this or is it just a poor, generic copy? Thank you in advance for your help. Cheers, -D

I read somewhere that the German Army called the 28th ID the "Bloody Red Bucket".

24th ID - Green Peppers 34th ID - Road Kill 42nd ID - Friends of Dorothy 82nd ID - Almost Airborne 91st ID - Air Fresheners 92nd ID - Buffalo Wings 173rd Inf Bde - Ole Clipped Wings Infantrymen attched to the 2nd Armor called it "Hell on Heels"

Maybe I should ask my question differently. What do female Specialist's wear on the modern dress blue uniform that has replaced the old, green class A? Are they the small type I have shown above or are they the full size? Thanks, -D

Thank you for the link and great info. Cheers, -D

Hey gang, I have some blue Specialist chevrons for the dress blue uniform. When were they used and since the Army has adopted the dress blue as the class A, would the Specialist rank shown be used for the female uniform today? Thank you in advance for your help. Cheers, -D

Thanks for all the great info. Cheers, -D

Hey gang, I just came across some subdued sleeve rank and wondered what the size meant. Is it a male female thing and if so what time frame were they worn? Thank you in advance for your help. Cheers, -D

Thanks for all the great info. Cheers, -D

Hey gang, This came in a large lot on military items I just purchased. What is this clear, vinyl bag used for? I'm assuming it's military with what looks like a M-16 bullet and Vietnamese instructions. http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e314/SunWray/VINYLBAG.jpg Thank you in advance for your help. Cheers, -D
