SWEET DCU! Never seen another like it. A man could always make a nice sub-collecting field by going after Contractor DCU's.

[panzerwerk]

Agreed !!!! :twothumbup:

This is almost as cool as the NCIS one that I found. NAVSEA is an interesting bunch. It is run by the Navy, but considered a Research and Development group. Tons of civilians work for them, Loads of Navy Brass, I've even seen NAVSEA duty station tabs on enlisted cracker jacks. If you ever get a chance to go into NAVSEA at the Washington Navy Yard. You will be amazed. It's like walking into a museum. Actually the whole Yard is a museum in some way. Really cool place. A pain to park though. I'm pretty lucky with my job. It allows me to go to a ton of military bases. You would not believe how many miltary and government agencies are in a 30 mile radius of DC. That's probably why I find as much of the stuff that I do. With Thrift shops frequency is the key. I try to hit all the close ones once a week. Then every week go to a far one.

Sometimes we have to pay dearly for things that we want and know will make a good addition to our collection. I think you did very well on your purchase. Looks like an awesome named DCU. Your killing me with your 173rd ABN DCU's.

Found this unusual named DCU in a Thrift Shop today. It is for a US Contractor. The desert colored patch (although I wouldn't really call it subdued) is for NAVSEA Dahlgren. The blouse is PX bought. Has mfg logoed tag along with the military style ones.

 

MAN that is sweet. A super find..!!! First one of those I've seen as well.

[everforward]

My apologies in advance for bringing some GREEN into this DCU thread, but I wanted to share this new find with everyone----

 

I would think that there would be some desert versions of this out there somewhere, which would be neat to add to a collection...'Where there is Green, there is usually Brown too'......I'll be looking for sure.

 

American Red Cross.....pretty wild to find this one....

 

[P-E]

Really interesting and unusual ! And yes, it's exists in desert ;
