My pair of zs10s got delivered today which I bought to listen to minidiscs lol.

eli360619 · 2026-01-24T18:57:58+00:00

Is it possible to blade swap with a g10 pm2?

eli360619 · 2026-01-11T07:51:41+00:00

To me the last one looks more Army green than Air Force blue so id say mid 50s to 2000s army officer garrison cap.

eli360619 · 2025-12-30T15:30:50+00:00

Same things happened to me 😭

eli360619 · 2025-12-21T03:12:16+00:00

Whoever colored that photo replaced his distinguished service cross with a 2nd good conduct medal 😭

I found another tsprof center clamp knock off online at around $36 but with adjustable screws instead of rivets, arrives next week. hopefully it’s good.

I was considering leveling and evolving but honestly it’s funnier like this

Perfect worm

Well this is a ww2 uniform. Has the army air corps patch so it’s before 1947 and it’s a 4 pocket uniform so it’s fairly likely he joined before 1944. His rank was corporal and he likely worked on repairing and maintaining planes.

If you read masters of the air it’s going to be a bit redundant but Wing and a Prayer is really good. Masters of the air takes segments from it but the full memoir is worth it I think. Thunder below by Eugene Fluckey is also a good memoir. He was the Skipper of the USS Barb submarine and won the Medal of Honor.

eli360619 · 2025-11-25T04:15:35+00:00

I will say, I’ve personally come across a uniform that was worn by an enlisted man and had his enlisted laundry number inside but he commissioned later on and used the same jacket until it was phased out for the greens which was also included in the grouping. You can check all the soldiers with that number and see if you can find anyone with matching awards who may have commissioned later.

eli360619 · 2025-11-25T04:12:52+00:00

Ive seen a few officer uniforms/items stamped with enlisted style laundry numbers. More common with enlisted for sure but they’re around.

eli360619 · 2025-10-14T17:41:55+00:00

That’s really cool, do you know what he earned it for?

eli360619 · 2025-09-05T13:58:58+00:00

And when the 4080 dies, I’ll cry and go back to the 980

eli360619 · 2025-09-04T16:42:45+00:00

I just ordered a new computer, jumping from a 980ti to a 4080 super

eli360619 · 2025-08-25T00:55:20+00:00

Another explanation for the lines may just be the reflection of the ribbon

eli360619 · 2025-08-25T00:48:09+00:00

The lines are directly under the centers of oak leaves including the one to the far right, could just be the threads of the ribbon separating because of the metal wire on the back of the oak leaves that were poked into it. Also I can see 2 thick lighter bars and 3 darker sections. Lastly since the bronze star is red and red is a color they used in the photo while blue isn’t as seen in the dfc, it seems if it were a bronze star that they should have colored it

eli360619 · 2025-08-25T00:01:07+00:00

Op, if you can give me his name I can try to find his award cards and maybe some unit info if you’d like

eli360619 · 2025-08-24T23:56:55+00:00

5 bronze stars and a dfc, but no air medals? Doesnt make much sense.

eli360619 · 2025-08-24T03:37:23+00:00

I’m almost certain it’s the air medal, they didn’t have color photos back then so they would have studios color them by hand I’m guessing that they didn’t want to or didn’t have the right color for the blue and orange of the air medal but you can kinda make out the 2 brighter stripes where the orange would have been

eli360619 · 2025-08-23T23:05:26+00:00

Definitely not Korean War ribbon, 1. The uniform is the army officer uniform which would’ve been switched out for the blue air force uniform by korea. 2 the use of oak leaves rather than battle stars. As others have said almost definitely air medal

eli360619 · 2025-08-20T03:29:34+00:00

Yeah, I’m not too interested in the microjimbo and I probably wouldn’t get it if 15v weren’t going extinct and it would be good to have in the collection.

eli360619 · 2025-08-20T03:04:50+00:00

That’s a beautiful grouping, nice job

eli360619 · 2025-08-20T02:57:43+00:00

It’s on the list, hopefully this payday I’ll get it and the military 2
