Unit Patch

Don't forget about us "Targets". Privateer, the prototype reactor I qualified on in Windsor, Ct(S1C) was the same plant as the USS Tullibee(S2C).

Guess I spent my career on "targets." Gator sailor for my sea duty years of my career and then a nuke target on my years ashore as a communicator.

Have some laying around...though was able to find this right on the internet...ain't technology great?

Forgot this one..you know...big brother. fyi..for any USAF out there I found this site: http://www.usafpatches.com/ , comes in handy if you've lost your patches or maybe you don't have a digital camera. I was able to find the exact ones sewn on my field jacket. I'd be willing to bet there are similar sites for the other services.

Nice to find a place where your're appreciated...all I did was fix airplanes, but I'd like to think it matters.

privateer · 08-31-2008, 02:53 PM

If you served it matters, and I Thank You you for your service - Respect.
And for you non navy types if we confused you with the taget talk, it's like this -
There are only two types of ships in the navy " Submarines and Targets "

On what Gator(s) were you aboard?
I spent some time on a couple of them. Much better then the old flat-bottoms; so I've been told. I lucked out and never rode on an LST.

Tell me, if a target gets hit and sinks does that make the crew submariners?

Just joking around.

privateer · 08-31-2008, 03:52 PM

Nope

becouse when they cant hold thier breath anylonger they float to the surface and they are still skimmers.

oldjarhead · 09-02-2008, 09:39 PM

Ummm.
I have a great deal of respect for Subbers...ain't no way I'd get into one of them and submerge...
Give me a good ole hot beach-head any day...BUT if they was to come and get me off that island beach I may reconsider.

privateer · 09-02-2008, 10:52 PM

I hear that from alot of the marines I have shared a beer with , But really it's like sitting in your livingroom

Yeah, a living room with no windows (portholes), and the only door (hatch) is a hole in the roof (overhead)t that can only be accessed by a ladder...lol

A weapon, a ruck, and a map and compass. Leisurely walks in the mountains, woodlands, desert, and frozen tundra. It was a simple life.

lefty o · 09-17-2008, 10:09 PM

oldjarhead, your a lucky man to have not gotten a ride on an LST. i spent a few years on this old rusty bitch. 30+ degree rolls were not unheard of. you know your rocking and rolling when stuff bolted and welded to the decks breaks loose.

Seabeescotty · 09-23-2008, 10:20 AM

We have all done our duty, in whatever way seemed to fit. I take my hat off, and thank you all, for the sacrifice you made, in order to serve our nation. I wouldn't have made a good sub jockey, or office guy,but I did my best, at my chosen job. That's all anyone could expect.

CAN DO!!!!!!!

Rangersniper175 · 09-29-2008, 07:08 PM

I guess I will fall inline on being tech challenged if can't figure out how to transfer pic. But I served with Co.C 1/75th Ranger Bat. HAAF,GA. Served with the Co.C 2/34th Inf Ft. Stewart GA when taken off jump status for 4 months from a bad jump. Recruited into the 10th SF Bad Tolz Germany. Then ran every crap hole in the world they could deploy us to for a vacation or a walk in the park. When I get this all figured out I will post patches I have.

CRS (Can't Repair Shit)

What AFSC? I was E&E Before becoming a Shirt. I never worked CRS. worked PLSC at Kadena in the mid 80's first assignment, kind of close to CRS but more depot level stuff.

SightNSqueeze · 09-29-2008, 09:21 PM

I'm with you Jim. Until I can figure out how to post the patches, I was assigned to these [former] active duty units:

1. USS Ulysses S. Grant (SSBN 631)
2. Submarine Group 6/Submarine Squadron 18

I'll try to get images and do an edit to this post.
