Estate sale finds

[Jacob morrison814]

I did not pick any of these up but apparently the DBDU was a guy in desert storm and the woodland was a guy in another conflict 

I talked to the guy running the sale and said the whole family was military so that was pretty cool, I’m glad to see some amazing bdus I kinda regret not getting the desert storm one it looked pretty cool that staff sergeant must have worked hard

You were right to pass on these....they look more like post-service, veteran humped up jackets.

So, these aren't your "LATEST FINDS"?

[Jacob morrison814]

Well I found them lol, or does it mean I have to buy it and own it???

[mvmhm]

Generally, things you found and now own......these probably would have been better in the "Is it real" section.

Definitely humpedup. Coast Guard might have worn a little tiger stripe in Vietnam (doubtful) but they have never worn it since.

Good lord, what a mess.  I don’t even know where to start…. 
 

Some of the patches look to just be laying on the tops.  And crookedy patch rotation, unevenly spaced from shoulder seams - I would have LOVED watching somebody show up to formation in one of those things…

“I would like to welcome Captain Atfoo to the Battalion.  He is Ranger qualified with a ‘combat patch’, but wears an EIB.  He also was a commissioned Drill ‘Sergeant’ prior to joining us.  He has not seen AR 670-1, but will be reading it from the FLRP until his blouse gets un-******!”

 

(And yes, before anybody chimes in, I know there are legit ways this could happen, but how likely?)

He’s an Air Force Ranger just like me….

never trust anyone and their stories…even veterans. Trust the item at hand and nothing else.

Ahhh, you never made it to SFOD-D?  Lame…🫢

 

Only true ‘ballers’ put their triple-canopy in that order.

I think the tiger stripe is from propper?

That AF DCU is certainly my favorite. It's the kind of thing i'd expect to see at a church elementary school play.
