You're McKinney has 1st Gulf War ribbons (Kuwait, I believe) so he may have retired some time ago.  Maybe look at the same time frame as Stevens. 

Ken,   Here are some interesting images of some more Horse Drawn water wagons and one other wagon that has something a little stronger, Tequila..   The wooden barrels were used to store, age and transport tequila here in the region... During the Mexican Revolution the US Soldiers would on occasion inspect these type of transports to ensure weapons and other contraband were not being smuggled across the border either into the US or into Mexico...    These are in and around the El Paso and Mexico region surrounding Ft Bliss..   I am still looking for images of the watering trough for you..   Best regards   Leigh 

Destroyers & Frigates                                                                     Gators                       Minesweepers                 Shore Commands (NAVSTA, NSGA, COMM, etc)                     NAVOCEANO                 Hydrofoils                I have more but that's enough...                        

Aye,  They were sized ballcaps, not the adjustable 'snap-back' band ball caps.  Also, they were not fully embroidered but had a 'ball cap patch' sewn or ironed onto them.  The ballcap patches were sold aboard in the ships' store, purchased with the crews' welfare funds by the storekeeper for sale to the crew.   Like these from one of my ships...       ...and these from another of my ships, sold in the ships' store         More DDG examples, 1960's - 1980's                 Battleships (1980's)                         Aircraft Carriers                 Cruisers                     Auxilliaries                     One of my favorites, the 'Hot Potato' Salesman sample with the manufacturers instructions                   Submarine Rescue (ASR)        

Great picture, thanks for sharing Guy.   Regards, Paul  

Does anyone have any 817th TCS crew photos they have in their collections they would like to share between 1966-1968.

Thanks Yokota and Matt appreciate all your help.

Yes, the "Vulcan" lighter case dates to the 1950s.
