COMFAIRMED gone

Funny how these organizations seem to last half a century before they can
be
disestablished.
It has to do with the Navy's share of each year's DOD budget!

Somewhere, I have a Midway "Sh*t River Centurian" patch. Never had the
cajones to sew it on the flight jacket tho... I can't remember if I
got it at Olongapo or elsewhere, but I haven't seen the patch in years.
Anyone else have one..?

I still dream about my flight jacket. In it, I am driving down the
street and I see some rangey looking mop-headed kid walking along
wearing my stolen flight jacket. In the dream, I pull over, knock him
to the ground and rip the jacket off of him, then beat him unconcious.
I'm sure you all can understand why I find comfort in this dream.

My jacket meant quite a lot to me - a giant VA-65 patch on one sleave
(first rescue), the names of three ships embroidered on the cuff of the
other, an Esso Australia Helicopter Division patch sewn on the inside
near the bottom of the zipper and a USS Kirk rocker above the cigarette
pocket. Why some punk ass kid had to steal it I will never know.

I seem to remember others having a patch similiar to the one you describe -
sewen inside of their jacket - but I can't remember if it was for PoTown or
not.

Was your jacket ripped-off there?

Mine wen't into the S. China Sea with my other gear stored in my crew bag.
A parthing gesture from one of my buddies.

No offense guy - but the answer is "Because you wore it into town".

And by the way - BZ on your saves.

Naaa. It was in my car when the house was burglarized and the
departing skunks took the car as well. Found the car with a blown
engine on the side of I-5 the following day, but the jacket, watch,
wifey's jewelry, allllll gone.

And by the way - BZ on your saves.

Thank you sir. The only thing positive I did with my life until I
began the grand experiment of child raising... )
