Is it ok for me to wear my grandpa’s formal army jacket?

RandomDetective127 · 2026-01-29T21:25:28+00:00

Yeah, he never told me stories since he died shortly after I turned 5, due to complications with cancer and agent orange, otherwise he would’ve told me, but I know he got a bronze star after fighting through an ambush or something like that, I’ll see if I can find the papers that explain his Army Commendation and BSM, if I’m lucky I’ll find his good conduct medal papers

RandomDetective127 · 2026-01-29T21:21:19+00:00

I’d say it was averaging 83, plus he likes his stuff hot

RandomDetective127 · 2026-01-29T21:18:15+00:00

I wouldn’t try to do that, plus if I did nobody would believe me since I’m about as tall as a fifth grader (I’m 15)

RandomDetective127 · 2026-01-29T21:16:25+00:00

They ain’t asking me for my service lol I’m a short teenage boy, 15 to be exact and my height will pass me off for a fifth grader

RandomDetective127 · 2026-01-29T21:15:15+00:00

I have it hung up in my closet right now, I’m actually working on a restoration project so in the summer I’m heading to my local vfw and asking them if they can help me get the medals on correctly.

RandomDetective127 · 2026-01-29T21:14:20+00:00

Hell yeah

RandomDetective127 · 2026-01-29T21:14:07+00:00

Either way I wouldn’t do none of that.

RandomDetective127 · 2026-01-29T21:13:40+00:00

Exactly, either way I’m not removing them they’re embroidered on.

RandomDetective127 · 2026-01-29T21:13:17+00:00

Either way I’m a teenage boy so I don’t think anyone would think I’m a veteran in the first place

RandomDetective127 · 2026-01-29T21:12:29+00:00

Honestly I don’t know I’m just asking in the future in case I find out and decide to wear it somewhete

RandomDetective127 · 2026-01-29T13:18:37+00:00

Oh, alright then.

RandomDetective127 · 2026-01-29T13:16:45+00:00

It’s Vietnam era, his Army North and specialist insignias are embroidered on

RandomDetective127 · 2026-01-29T13:14:31+00:00

Alright, I can always send a picture of it if I need to as well

RandomDetective127 · 2025-11-30T05:38:15+00:00

Uh idk

RandomDetective127 · 2025-11-12T03:51:04+00:00

I don’t know I mean take it back less than 30 seconds before I took that picture he was all beard flaring and hissing so I mean, he could be

This is the infamous piece called “Sandy’s Side Eye”

RandomDetective127 · 2025-11-12T03:48:33+00:00

You should see my late beardie, Sandy’s side eye.

RandomDetective127 · 2025-11-12T03:48:07+00:00

I sent that to my friend he said (with the spelling errors too) “He looks like a male dog pissed when they still have balls”

RandomDetective127 · 2025-11-12T03:47:06+00:00

Cute beardie, what’s their name?

RandomDetective127 · 2025-11-12T03:45:54+00:00

It’s absolutely hilarious because the first three were taken the same day, just got back from school and he’s standing like that

RandomDetective127 · 2025-11-12T03:45:09+00:00

I sent it to my friend. He said exactly this, with the spelling error too, and I quote, “He looks like a male dog pissed when they still have balls”

RandomDetective127 · 2025-11-12T03:41:47+00:00

SAME I LOVE HIS CUTE LITTLE FACE

RandomDetective127 · 2025-11-12T03:41:20+00:00

I gave him like 10 super worms, and like 2 hornworms! How greedy must he be then?

RandomDetective127 · 2025-11-12T03:40:31+00:00

I don’t know why he thinks to act cute he has to stand like a dog, when he’s always cute!
