Thanks guys for the positive feedback! I had to wake up very early to get it.

 

Any idea what the AP written on the front of the liner stands for? It seems at one time there was some red chalk writing as well as the AP written in pencil.

United States Air Force Security Forces are the force protection and military police of the United States Air Force. Security Forces (SF) were formerly known as Military Police (MP), Air Police (AP), and Security Police (SP).

 

Great to know! As he was a Major in the Airforce, the Air Police makes sense!

 

Thank you!
