These cards remind me of the Military Pay Certificates (MPC) they paid us with in the Viet-Nam.
I would have liked to have kept some, but they confiscated them when we shipped home. They were about the size on Monopoly money and some had real neat engravings of battle scenes. I can remember 'thousands" of dollars worth going down at midnight poker games with these bills. Anyone know a source? |

There are also tons of Special Forces Death Cards, NVA Girlfriend Cards, and lots of In Country Zippos. Oddly, the sellers never seem to run out of these items! I would like to own some real deal items, like the survival cards, or a zippo, but do not trust myself online.

Ive eaten raw freshwater fish once during a ritual to get my mojo back. I lost it once. You never want this to happen. I keep that stuff under lock and key now. Whats the story behind a survivor patch? |

There were some that where playing cards but had........shit I THINK they had something on the backs. May just be an old man brain fart but I remember the survival cards! (MAN I wish I hadn't killed off so many brain cells in my misspent youth!)  |

The playing card decks I recall were Soviet Bloc vehicle/aircraft identification cards. That would have been mid to late 80s |
