I don;t have a pic but I saw one in Korea, it was the 2nd ID patch with Opus instead of the Indian in it. Wish I had gotten one.
|
|
If you look at the 7th Infantry Divsion patch, it was called the "beer can" because of the old steel beercans that needed a church key to open it.
|
|
I can't post a pic but if you want to see a unique US Army division patch, do a search for the Pre WWII 45th Infantry Division patch.
|
|
Hmmmm I take it they changed that? |
|
|
|
Oops! |
|
|
Something you wear while deployed, examples might be a "fun meter" that is pegged. You wouldn't be caught dead wearing them at home station though. |
|
|
Yeah, but the 45th could claim prior art and send cease and desist letters to the NSDAP. |

I wish I had my computer attached to the internet. Some of my buddies would love that patch. There's a guy I'd love to give it to also. |

Are you posting from your cell phone? |

You Gotta Be Shitting Me |

|
You're Gonna Be Sorry Motherfucker
Edit: At least that's what I was told. Although I like "You've Gotta Be Shittin' Me" too! |
|
no seriously, I don't know what it means either |

|
"You Gotta Be Shitting Me!" were the first words heard when the first WW pilots were informed of their new mission. Probably the best unit motto EVER. |
||
|
There has to be more to this story... WW = what now? I'm guessing Wild Weasel. And what where their mission? |
|||
|
During the Vietnam War, a bunch of F-4 pilots were rounded up and given a new mission. The "Wild Weasel" mission was to engage enemy SAM (Surface to Air Missile) sites and get the SAMs to engage the F-4s with their radar. Then the F-4s would respond with radar-homing missiles or bombs, which would take out the sites. The Wild Weasels would precede strike and bomber aircraft in an attempt to clear the target and target route of SAMs. This was counter-intuitive to any survival instinct that man retained after hundreds of thousands of years, hence the words, "You Gotta Be Shitting Me!". |

I got ta get me a CIA secret operative tab. |
|
|
|
haha i like that one, even if it is so obviously photoshopped. |
|
|
|
Just a piss poor design...if you read it top to bottom instead of the oustside ring which you eye wants to do, I think it says "It takes a college eduction to break it and a high school education to fix it" Badly designed patch. SG |
||
|
I do.... It is saying the maintainers are smarter than the pilots... |
||
|
my favorite is a tab, ala "Airborne" or "Ranger" that says Shitbag.

^^^ Ahhh, ODF...
That brings back some memories of my younger days. I lived under the flight path to Christchurch airport and used to spend my days watching the "big ones" come in during the season. Later, as I got older we would go down to the ODF base on Friday nights and join in the BBQ's and beer nights they held each week, we had to exchange our money for US currency... Years go by and now I live here in the States, break my heel bone and the Doc in charge of my surgery is an ex Starlifter pilot from back in the day who enjoyed many a trip to the ice through my old home town. |
|
No, it's saying the maintainers have a college education. That has NOTHING to do with intelligence, let me assure you. Of course, as the post above yours pointed out, it seems I did not read it as the designer intended. |

Looks a lot more like "ALLAH'S CHOSEN" to me. Considering the look of the H and L in ALLAH...... |
|
|
It only takes a semester of kindergarten to design a patch. |
