Capt.Confederacy Posted October 24, 2024 #1 Posted October 24, 2024 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.
RWW Posted October 24, 2024 #2 Posted October 24, 2024 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. unit home is Ft Hood…it has a new name but I remember it as Ft Hood…aka “The Great Place”….
sigo Posted October 25, 2024 #4 Posted October 25, 2024 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.

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