I wonder if there still using them?

Correction on my previous post. The decals are from Cockpit Details; NOT Custom Dioramics. Sorry.   Semper Fi.   Manny

I don’t think so.   US-made.  Probably dates from the very late 60’s after merrowed edge manufacturing was introduced and they were still wearing color insignia.   

And here it is, the Yellow one sewn to a uniform, a 2nd Logistical  Command shirt worn between 1967 and 1970. Sewn above the U.S. ARMY Tape, a South Korean based unit, so probably Japanese Made,

I went to Jefferson Barracks National Cemetery to locate the group burial of the C-123 crash that includes Robert Ellison.  It is exactly two rows removed from the Ghost Patrol group burial, the photos of which were taken by Ellison. 

Yrs, those are navy issue. There were several different patterns of dungarees, that were used simultaneously. I have photos of my father wearing that style during the Korean War. The reason there were several patterns, is that whenever the Navy would change some, “Detail”, they did not pull old stock. It continued to be used until stocks were exhausted. I went to boot camp in January 1973, we had a couple of smaller guys issued WW2 pattern white jumpers. Back in those days, no one really paid that much attention.    anyway, Dungarees were considered like coveralls. They were for dirty work. Until 1963, (IIRC), CPOs and officers were authorized to wear them for dirty work, officers would wear them for things such as inspecting bilges, inside boilers, chain lockers and such. Same with CPOs, but they would also wear them while supervising dirty work, such as, the work that required the officer to put Dungarees on,  and inspect. But, yes, those are legitimate issues dungarees. Generally, until, the 1963 regs, (again, IIRC, please correct if I’m wrong), dungarees didn’t require a name on the outside, inside the waist band on the trousers and in the tail of the shirts. Lots of guys  did, put names on the outside, to make them harder to steal. No rate insignia was authorized or required until later ( you see some drawn on). My dad retired in 1967, and still didn’t wear crows on his dungarees. He had some, just never put them on. He didn’t put a crow on his dungarees jacket either. Actually, his undress blues and whites, only had crows, no Hashmarks or UIMs, but, again, they were working uniforms and not meant to last more than a season before requiring replacement. We would get Marines on board and they would comment on our faded and stained dungarees, ( not to mention scruffy boots). I’d tell them that being a seagoing Sailor was like living and working in the engine compartment of a ‘57 Ford, running down a dirt road at 65 MPH, while on fire, for weeks at a time. 

You found a gorgeous original 6” Camillus that was issued and put up. 

Sorry, much later reply for post #9.  Yes, I will try.  I see I have 33rd MNG. It should have read 31st MNG. Illinigander
