KommandoPost Posted October 25, 2018 Share #77 Posted October 25, 2018 What do you guys make of this? USAF tape but a 5th Army patch on an OG 107. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doyler Posted October 25, 2018 Share #78 Posted October 25, 2018 Private purchase cotton sateen with the late 50s to early 60s stamped/inked name tapes. 5th Army sector at this time was the mid west.Its a merrowed edge patch as well.Not a clue why its on a USAF shirt unless there was a reason for the person to be assignrd to the 5th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted October 25, 2018 Share #79 Posted October 25, 2018 Private purchase cotton sateen with the late 50s to early 60s stamped/inked name tapes. 5th Army sector at this time was the mid west.Its a merrowed edge patch as well.Not a clue why its on a USAF shirt unless there was a reason for the person to be assignrd to the 5th And a very curious one indeed, those tapes, stenciled on White web are early 60s, worn before the White on Blue ones became standard in like 1965 or so, note too the merrowed edged 5th Army patch, something really seen starting in around mid 1968. One guess is this shirt may have been worn by a Air Force Reservist who continued to wear this shirt well into the 60s with out bothering to upgrade with the new tapes, he or his unit under 5th Army in some capacity, as Armies controlled many reserve units in the 60s, Corps too, till the mid-sh 68 when all the Corps were inactivated except the main Tactical Combat Corps, IE I Corps, III Corps, V Corps, VII Corps and the XVIII Airborne Corps, and that one administrative Corps of the Regular Army on Okinawa, IX Corps .

Longhorn92 Posted October 25, 2018 Share #80 Posted October 25, 2018 I'm glad some of you are finding cool items. I just hit a few stores today and as usual found not even a camo t-shirt. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonomachi Posted October 28, 2018 Share #85 Posted October 28, 2018 I haven't been finding much of anything at the Goodwill Stores during Halloween for a number of years now. I decided to walk in to one of the Goodwill Stores and found this USN leather flyers jacket on the regular clothing rack for $31.00. Based on the tag I believe this is a 1971 dated jacket per the information on this previous post: http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/187964-g-1-jacket-question/?hl=%2Bflyers+%2Bjacket&do=findComment&comment=1458807 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ASMIC2971 Posted October 29, 2018 Share #87 Posted October 29, 2018 I've found a few things this year at various stores, this may be my best find this year. Was out and finally found something at the Goodwill that is about a half a mile from me, five years of living here and going religiously it produced one nugget. With a small price tag of $2.99 she was coming home with me, even though there was no name a few loose stiches. As I'm standing in line, I remember that in my pocket was a coupon for 50% off one item under twenty bucks. She sure is was cheap date! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
easterneagle87 Posted October 29, 2018 Author Share #88 Posted October 29, 2018 That's a great WAC hat! I scored an M1 shell and liner (CAPAC) and an additional Westinghouse liner at the junk store while traveling this weekend. Both got listed over on the "E" site, to help me pay for my trip..

Best thing I ever found was some modern OCP camouflage trousers which I left behind because they were like $13 and I decided it wasn't worth it.

easterneagle87 Posted October 30, 2018 Author Share #94 Posted October 30, 2018 I mean Hobby hat...Bodes Never knew there was a difference. Since Nurses were officers and so were some WAC's, did they were the same hat? OR... could they've worn the same hat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

easterneagle87 Posted November 2, 2018 Author Share #99 Posted November 2, 2018 Ok folks! This has been a FUN and SUCCESSFUL season. Some of us filled our tags, some of us filled our bags, some got some good lookie loos and in the end we all had NOTHING to lose! Mount your trophies and tell your stories. Ya'll be good and we'll do this all again next year. Until then... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray42 Posted November 3, 2018 Share #100 Posted November 3, 2018 Looks like I was a little late to the party, Ive been too busy with school lately to post recently and decided it would be easiest to do it all at once but it has been a pretty good season. I added many new uniforms to my collection. Some of the most intresting examples have been an unknown era warrent officer uniform with pins still and hat included. I think it may be 50's era because it is made of wool but I am not sure. Additionally 1974 dated m1 liner and a 1948 dated pith helmet. also an interesting female LT. commander chaplains uniform with bullion crosses.
