alconlon Posted September 14, 2008 Share #27 Posted September 14, 2008 The 1st Cav DCU original owner was a Sentinel and a West Point Graduate which must be extremely Rare. Thanks Al Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattD Posted September 14, 2008 Share #28 Posted September 14, 2008 Here is one of my favorite DCU tops. I have about 30 others too (All SF badged or Modified) This came from a Special Forces NCO, it is modified with chest pockets moved to sleeves (velcro added) and lower pockets moved to chest slanted. Sleeves are cut short. This shirt included all the items he carried is his pocket minus the morphine and also had the Medical tag -when he was med evaced. He designed the patch for the OGA sponsored Commando unit, first one ever made is sewn on the Baseball cap and another is on velcro. I have the original prototype, write up and original drawings of patch. I also have the next 2 generations(next 2 SF teams rotations) of the patch-then the unit was disbanded. He made the chest rig (from a duffle bag) in the early 90s-before wearing them was cool. It was used on every continent except Australia. From Jungles of Thailand to Arctic Winters in Canada. I have almost all of his gear he carried or worn in Afghanistan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patrick. Posted September 14, 2008 Share #30 Posted September 14, 2008 Agreed! That is a superb grouping. If time permits i would very much like to see further images of the helmet and most importantly the patches. A perfect snapshot of current military history, congratualtions. Patrick.
