Unit and Combat Patches

[Joseg]

Wow, look at all the folks that are Airborne on here.. 

 

I too, have been in different units but not a combat patch: 

5/87th Inf (L) Panama 

 

82nd Airborne DIV

1/325 Airborne Infantry Regiment (The only AIR in the world)

 

101st Airborne DIV (Chair Assault)

1/101 Aviation (Attack)

 

Note the patches versus the image, I hated 101st with a passion.

1/101 Aviation (Attack)...... 

 

I know that BN very well.

DaveS it wasn't the Unit (101St Abn Div) per say, it was the lack of leadership, leadership that was just looking out for their own skin and not their soldiers, when the CG gets popped for 5 DUIs, CSM gets a new house, and soldiers left and right get canned, something is wrong.. BTW, the CG later became 18th ABN CG and more later on , totally skewed my willingness to stay in.  Funny how, I'm not the only one that has felt the same way about 101st.. 

 

DMark, yup Ugly Eddie.. Going from Infantry to ABN Infantry to Aviation (Leg) with no respect for unit history, didn't entice me to stay longer or even reenlist to get the hell out of there.. 

 

 

 

BTW, the .Mil was great to me and yes, I miss it, just certain aspects of it, were not fun.. Thank you all for your service..

I can't figure out how to download the images, but mine are:  C Co. 101st Avn Bn (Wings of the Eagle), and 48Th Avn. Co. (Blue Stars)

My first combat patch, the one I wear, is from the 101st.

 

I was a member of B Co 2/502nd INF REG.

Late to the party as usual, but was in VRC-30 "COD" squadron from '93 to '97 .  The farthest i got to see was Hawaii twice....lol......Then was in TNARG 278th R co...a crew chief on cobras from '97 to 01....But my proudest is my wife is an active captain in the TNARG.  She spent a year in afghanistan and is now the commander of G troop and is scheduled to go back soon....I am extremely proud of her.
