I just obtained this duffel bag at an army surplus store and had a question about the stenciling on the side.  Can anyone decipher it? 


Thanks in advance.

The topline is his or her last name: WALKER

 

53rd Quartermaster Company 61st Quartermaster Battalion

 

13th Expeditionary Sustainment Command

 

JW 6925    Probably his or her First & Last Initial and 6925 the last 4 of their Social Security Number (His or her laundry number.)

 

There are some fantastic researchers here on the Forum who could likely tell you exactly who owned the duffle bag and their entire military career. I am not one of them...

All true.

13ESC has a nickname too, based on Soldiers’ interpretation of the patch. It is not as polite as that motto for FHTX. 

 

Fort Hood was renamed to Fort Cavazos.

Thanks for the great info!  I never would have gotten any of that with the exception of the last name of "Walker".  Thanks again!
