Hs132 Posted May 14, 2022 Share #1 Posted May 14, 2022 Hello, today’s find at our local swap meet. I’ve never seen a name tag like this and was pleased to see it’s for Professional Naval Chaplaincy. It was a bit muddy but cleaned up. I believe the G-1 is from about 1962. The other jacket has what seems to be his sons name? Pilot? The seller found them up on a garage shelf during demolition.

doyler Posted May 15, 2022 Share #3 Posted May 15, 2022 The G! was a fiscal year 1964 cintract. The Nimes is an 1983 contract. Nice find Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenchbuff Posted May 15, 2022 Share #4 Posted May 15, 2022 A PNC is a Chief Personnelman. PN's were enlisted men who maintained enlisted service records. No connection with chaplains. He probably served on an aircraft carrier or an air station and "obtained" the flight jacket there. Yes, most likely the other jacket is his son's. Nice father/son set.

Hs132 Posted May 15, 2022 Author Share #5 Posted May 15, 2022 Thank you. Then the book and feather symbol has no religious connection? It must resemble a personnel tally booklet. Best, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PNs and YNs were both admin rates. The YN or yeoman had cross quills and the PN was the book and quill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
