TheCrustyBosun Posted October 30, 2020 Share #1 Posted October 30, 2020 I’ve had this patch for as long as I can remember, but know nothing about it. Anyone? R. Patterson Boatswains Mate USCG 1998-2010 “The Boatswain’s Mate and Coxswain is A JACK OF ALL TRADES AND A MASTER OF THEM ALL.”- 1944 edition of the BM2c training course material. “They gave us an engine that first went up and down. With some more technology, the engine went around. We know of steam and diesel, but what’s a main yard for? A sailor ain’t a sailor, ain’t a sailor anymore!”- The Last Shanty Link to post Share on other sites
Randy Posted October 30, 2020 Share #2 Posted October 30, 2020 I believe is a generic patch for the Fulton Recovery System, or Skyhook. I saw this attributed to the 40th ARRS before, but they flew mostly helicopters except for two years in the mid 70s they had C-130s attached, not so I'm not sure of that connection. Besides, it has a generic look to it, even if they used it others may have as well. MSgt USAF (Ret) Link to post Share on other sites

Hopefully, others will chime in with more. R.
