    Default Patch

    I was looking at some patches I have and found this one. I wore this on my boonie hat in Viet Nam. That hat is very old so took the patch off and here it is. It is 43 years old and has many memories.

    I reckon you should sew that on your Games shirt Bob. That would look way cool!

    Very cool, Bob! Who were the "snoopys"? What was your unit?

    As Barry says, it would look great on a shirt worn regularly to your games...

    All the best,

    Never thought of putting it on a shirt. We called the C47 gunships Snoopy but I had nothing to do with that just liked the patch. My unit was the 8th Radio Research Field Station (RRFS). I was a O5H---Morse Intercept Operator. Yes I copied Morse code and still remember code but may not be able to copy at 25 GPM.

    Neat patch Bob, some clever chaps maybe able to get that printed on a shirt to save the original from wear and tear. Thanks for sharing and for your service.

    Always nice to meet another ASAer, Bob! I was a 98G voice/intercept operator in West Berlin from 75 to 78 at the field station there. And I still use my language skills on a regular basis, too.

    All the best,
    Matt

    Nice patch, the only patch I got to wear was my UN patch for Cyprus 76-77.

    Matt You never know where OLD SPOOKS & SPIES (ASAers) may show up. In 75 I was at the 7th RRFS. They now have the ASA picnic back at Vint Hill in August. Retired out of Ft Devens in 90. So here goes Morse Code

    A very nice bit of memorabilia Bob.
    Just wait till Chris sees that.

    I have a number of patches. Here is one I wish I had more of. It is from my unit in Thailand (7th RRFS--74-76). I had it on a jungle fatigue shirt and was offered $125 for it years ago but as I said it is the only one I have. I guess it will be bestowed to someone in my will.
