seanmc1114 Posted May 19, 2017 Share #226 Posted May 19, 2017 Infantry blue bib worn by a member of Company B 7th Cavalry sporting crossed sabres on his cap. This is James Clifford Phillips who was killed in action with the 9th Infantry Division in Vietnam on May 2, 1967. In the photo, he was probably serving with the 1st Cavalry Division in Korea.

Phillips was a EM, so wondering if this wearing of these officer crossed sabres was a novelty sort of thing or a Battle Group/Battalion thing, Which if before ROAD and was still PENTOMIC would be the 1st Battle Group 7th Cavalry.

seanmc1114 Posted January 2, 2018 Share #233 Posted January 2, 2018 White bib with full color 82nd Airborne Division SSI worn by a member of the 1st Squadron 17th Cavalry. His branch disc appears to be military intelligence and his "oval" for his jump wings appears to be cut edge and almost round in shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted January 3, 2018 Share #234 Posted January 3, 2018 A officer of the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment West Germany circa 1962-63 with a stylized ALLONS Blackhorse patch on a scarf. The scarf is probably Yellow, though it could be White. Curiously he wears no DIs on his Green Loops, note too a ribbon that looks like it's for the Good Conduct Medal.

Also notice that he is wearing a nylon name tape. Now that is something else I have seen this in my day, but here it would be Off Duty, guys who did have fro's would do something called Packing, in that they would put a nylon stocking over their heads at night to "Pack it Down", so on duty the next day you wouldn't even know they had a Fro. At Hood May 80-May 81, the Company Supply Sgt was one who did this, seen him once at the local NCO Club, wow what a completely different look, the others too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanmc1114 Posted August 22, 2018 Share #246 Posted August 22, 2018 A Signal Corps officer wearing what I assume is an orange bib. Based on his tapes, I assume this dates from the mid-60s but note he appears to be wearing a Glider Bade. I can't tell if it's pin-on or sew-on. Col. Dorney was a 1946 graduate of West Point.
