The patch thread

I've done about 25 jumps.  Categorically not sane/normal either.  But then again there is absolutely no such thing as 'a perfectly serviceable aircraft' and anyone in that industry will back me up there.

 
Yes I can confirm from personal experience that the knowledgeable mr Kinnerley is most DEFINITELY correct after seeing a loadie open a panel in the floor of a Herc flying at 300ft over the Kuwait desert and start smacking the shit out of the plane with a honking big lump hammer , and then look up and say “undercarriage was stuck but all’s ok now !” With a big shit eating grin on his face ! ?bastard ! ?

Having worked in defence aircraft research for a goodly while I can say for sure that "perfectly serviceable" is not the same as "in perfect working order". It's just a better way of saying "well it probably won't fall out of the sky.....today".

 
Some patches are bought with money.

Others are earned with toil and sweat.

This one is the latter.

Some, and I do mean SOME, of the patches I have either found from old ops or bought since the last time I've posted. Theres probably an equal amount Ive either added but not pictured, or are on their way, including the world's largest morale patch :D  . They are laying around because I am tired of buying patch boards so Im just going to buy a length of felt and glue it to some plywood.

Heres my overall collection.

These are the ones I'm putting my combat shirt for airsofting

There are two more I want to add to this set: a Chris Kyle patch and an XS aka Nora West Allen logo patch.

These are for BJJ. I want to put them on my jacket but a lot of dojos have a strict no patches policy. So as a compromise I may put them on my gi pants for nogi training.

The only ones I'm missing is an Iron Maidenized Brazilian flag with Eddie in place of the planet and a West Ham United patch.

Hi, ALL! ?

Here’s my collection/shrine, currently! ?

I like them all, one is with a friend and I tend to let the rest pick and choose on the day just for fun! ?

Who can relate and which ones would you wear? ?

Will decide my favourites and put them on this topic....
