It’s also very common for US soldiers to write stamp or embroider the last four digits of their serial number in their clothing.    Where did your information come from?    Where do I need to go to see what you found to draw these conclusions?

They might have been assigned to the Marines like a Navy corpsman, I’ve seen their uniforms with Marine patches but you already know that so I think you answered your own question.   Maybe the name might help but I think there are probably a lot of people with that last name.  

If this is what you say all officers did in 1953-1955 and there are supposed to be hundreds of them, please send me at least one  

Bought a small pile of pouches today and this was included.  I wasn’t familiar with it and googled it and found out it is for B-17 flares. The pouch is like new.  I found examples on line but they were all sold but with comments as rare.  What’s a basic value.  Also I couldn’t find an example on the forum but that doesn’t mean it’s not there. 

Welcome to the forum and don’t let anyone upset you, we are all trying to figure things out.   Living here in the US these Air Force shirts are very common however,  I’m trying to understand your research.   Who does your information come from?   I’ve thrown out dozens of these shirts so I don’t understand how they could be important unless one can prove it came from one of these scientists.   There must be government specs on why these shirts were made as well but after 50 plus years of seeing too many of them i find it hard to believe.   Any officer in the US Air Force will have a closet full of these satin lined shirts .      

I lean towards the badge being good- especially in the context of the comparative collar pin.  With fake insignia, you tend to regularly see a few of them here and there- mainly EBay.  The crossed arrows USS Indian scout badge is a good example.   Should be rare, but they are routinely found on EBay - all fake.   

neat stuff, good find AG

A fun lil grouping from a small pop up flea market, 4 caps with vinyl headbands. Two are for the Golf Club Saigon, one which replaced the golf balls with grenades. One for the transportation corp with the self proclaimed title THE BIG BOSS, and a yellow hat in the pattern of South Vietnam flag. As well as two photos that show Army and Cambodian trainees eating together.  

if it's a t-shirt for 15 USD, then I apologize, I'll put it in the raffle for the hosic people and actually I apologize to you... please, I asked to register this t-shirt, the last thing I want to say is, I bought this in Pilsen on Liberation Day and I just wanted to save and dig up something that has value for me and your homeland and if you sir think that I made up the Creighton USAF Command Certificate P 242 on the collar and the hand stitching U701 as well, then I feel sorry for you... I found this in Pilsen and how could I possibly know to take a real photo of this... I also want to say that I sent this to Future Forces, there are people there who might be able to tell you something... Zpětná vazba Překladač Google
