Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Did you keep your Class A's?

I was waiting for it ha! I let mine go and they bumped me to a C

Mine are still on a hangar with ribbons attached since 1998.

Kept my last helmet and oxygen mask, leather jacket, winter weight nomex and summer nomex jackets. Box of ribbons and medals and patches. My 1000 hour and 2000 flight hours in the EA-6B plaques. Off to goodwill with the rest of it.

Leather jacket and winter weight jacket were stolen by a HVAC contractor I had in doing work. Since they were just hanging on a hook in the basement I didn't realize it for 6 months or so.

In a garmet bag with all the trinkets on em in the closet.
Pair of shined J boots in plastic bags.
Intent was to be buried in em.
Just make a shadow box thingamabob with retirement flag and get cremated.
Khanarella and the kids can sort out whatever when I kick the bucket.


Make that box someday when I get bored and morbid I geuss


But I dont feel like dying anytime soon...

I have my dress blues, though I think I'd have to bust my ribbons out of my shadow box.

Paratrooper and Green Beret actually.

Did a great deal of work in many places.

No "libtard circle jerk" here.

Lately, have felt like much of it was for political or monetary gain is all.

Yep, kept mine. They’re hanging in the closet.
My beret is in the gun safe.
Jacket still fits; pants are a little tight.

What color beret?

Likely. I remember the PJ hopefuls running the track. With a 5 gallon jerry can in each hand and keeping up... Then again, there was a pool over by that gym that almost no one used when I was around it. Me and one other 2nd class would from time to time.

Horse $#!+. You were no more Eighty-Deuce or SF, no more 11B or 18B, than Obama or Clinton.

"Paratrooper and Green Beret" is about as hollywood cliche as "poured my soul," "righteousness and morality," "just as soon burn it now" .... it's Internet virtue signaling drivel. No self respecting "did 20" Sky Soldier from any of the Division Airborne Infantry Regiments or former member of Group or one of the Ranger Regiments would post like that ... or use that phraseology.

Just stop. Don't make me be ugly about this or I'll bust you on the "did a great deal of work in many places" bull$#!+ as well.

You said some offensive disrespectful $#!+ about the uniform while claiming to be something you are not and never were and I called you on it. You're a poseur ... and you shouldn't be. Now just stop, don't make it worse.

I'm almost willing to bet that you're either the child of a Bragg citizen who grew up around our culture but never quite made it on your own .... or you maybe were attached down at Corp so you saw us around all the time and always wanted to be a part of an elite unit ... or you're just a floundering normally good guy who hung around with some of us and lived vicariously through our stories and exploits.

Whatever the case may be it's pathetic if you try to continue ... you went too far with the claim that you "did 20" and now you're going to burn your uniform because of some deeply entrenched shame that's inside you that has now welled-up and is ready to overflow because of this thread to the point where you're going-to burn your greens. It's pathological, it's a cry for attention... so stop it. I'm embarrassed for you. Go seek help. Seriously. Please. Go speak to someone, get some professional mental counseling. This is the wrong place to pull this stunt.

"Just as soon burn it now" .... my fourth point of contact. You just burned something alright .... your fuqing credibility. Your self-respect. Your Internet persona, your disguise .... your poseur guise. You are definitely not one of us.

If he is making it up he deserves a ass beating for sure.

My comment was not appropriate. No offense was meant but that doesn't matter.

All I can do is offer my apologies.

Been feeling a bit morose lately about the degradation of our country but should not let that color my thoughts.

I have never claimed to be anything I wasn't. 12B/18C to be precise.

I post this hear because I want my apology public.

SCRooster, if you would like to pm me I'd be happy to talk.

Yes. They no longer fit and someday they will get tossed. Probably by my kids.

My favorite uniform was my flight suit and the only real award was my crew wings with the star above it and my SFC stripes. I did have a national defense ribbon with 2 oak leaves. I was never in the right place at the right time for a combat ribbon. But, I was a good soldier and I gave it my best for 24 years both active duty and National Guard.

kwg

I’ve kept my ASU’s, and 1 copy each of BDU, ACU, and OCP. I doubt I’ll wear them again but spent too much time in them to get rid of them. I’m just glad I retired before I had to buy the pinks and greens. The old green class A’s went to a buddy that needed them. That $300 uniform allowance I got back in 91 sure didn’t go far over a 32 year career.

Have my Cracker Jacks dry cleaned on a hanger in a closet.

When I'm cremated they'll go along with me unless my daughter wants to hold onto them.

You probably figured it out but class A's are the dress uniform. Civilians would call it a suit.

Best looking uniform ever, followed by the Johnny Cash.

Cammies - sans boots
Alphas
Charlies
Blues
Deltas (by default)
Flightsuit.

I have no idea why?

Although I'm Navy, I'd give the nod to the Corps' dress blues with the blood stripe.

13 buttons, while symbolic, was a bit much in a GI emergency!

Did love those Johnny Cash.

The only thing I kept were some BDU's, some gore-tex rain gear and a pair of mukluks.
