Show Your DCUs

Interesting COL Riehle DCU there! Not sure if there is a connection, but I have a WWII grouping belonging to a medic named Fred Riehle. It can't be that common of a name, and the medical connection is interesting. Relative perhaps?

Could be a relative. Here is a thread about the entire Riehle grouping. This man is responsible for many of the lives saved in Iraq.

Ok, I'll post 4 I got for 5$ off the Goodwill online auction site. All are ID'd to Captain Taylor, research was inconclusive. Unfortunately no SSIs, but all have subdued captain's bars and 3/4 have intelligence wings. How can I date them? There is no DLA, it just has a Nato number and a stock number.

Also, one of my favorites for obvious reasons. She is still serving and now a Major General.

Schottzie,

Any idea what area your PFC Riehle was from? The Colonel in my collection was from the southern West Virginia area.

I think it may have been Cincinnatti, but I'll have to double check.

So how do I date a DCU jacket from the NATO and Stock Numbers? No DLA visible

[vietvet7071]

I thought 6-color was long gone by '01

My mistake. I looked again, its dated '90, not '01.

[vietvet7071]

I just picked this one up. Its dated '01.

My mistake. Its dated '90, not '01.

There should be a contract no. on the use and care label. (lower pockets)
