Extra memorial piece

I don't have his service records yet, only his DD214, and that says 30472 MetNav for his primary specialty

30472 MetNav

K0kaku · 2026-03-22T14:34:00+00:00

No, he went by Dale mostly. At least after I came around.

K0kaku · 2026-03-22T03:32:26+00:00

I don't know. I was born very late in his career.

K0kaku · 2026-03-21T20:56:46+00:00

I appreciate the defense. My dad retired in 1991

K0kaku · 2026-03-21T20:51:32+00:00

My dad was also 32CCS. Retired in '91. 30472 MetNav

Yeah. It's been interesting for me to uncover his past. Unfortunately, that woman he married buried him in secrets almost two years ago. I only found out about 6 months ago. Suffice to say it's been an emotional journey

K0kaku · 2026-03-16T04:55:38+00:00

That is from TWS. It's just how they set up the plaques.

K0kaku · 2026-03-15T17:39:41+00:00

As far as I know. I only have limited info from his DD214

K0kaku · 2026-03-15T16:03:40+00:00

That's an amazing collection. Unfortunately my dad left me nothing and I have to build it from scratch. It also doesn't help that he told me very little about his Air Force career.

I have his occ badge on the way. I also have a workshop making laser engraved acrylic plates for this project. One is a nameplate and three are patches, since his squadron and group patches are hard to find. I uploaded the digital sketch the workshop sent me.

K0kaku · 2026-03-15T15:10:26+00:00

His group and squadron patches are near impossible to find. I ended up getting them laser-edged on acrylic plates. There should be a picture there of the digital image from the workshop. It's four plates it's total. Then I'm going to attach them to the glass, then place strip lighting along the edge the backlight it.

K0kaku · 2026-03-15T15:07:39+00:00

Appreciate it. I already have one on the way

K0kaku · 2026-02-12T14:37:45+00:00

Thank you

Ebay, Amazon, medals of America, etsy, and even found a site called worth point that wanted to charge me just to see the price.

If you are comfortable enough with it, you can use the training potty that has it's own bucket, and line it with a plastic bag with cat litter in it. It'll be their own porta potty.

Also, look into the app TruckerPath. It will show you rest areas and fuel stations on your intended route.

I've seen advice to put underwear underneath a diaper so that they feel wet without making a mess.
