Patch Collections

Post them up!!!!!

My first patch from the OOAT, ill do an update with the others on the ceiling

 

Humble, but growing little by little.

 

Nice!

I need to figure out how to download the Ozark Adventure Trail to my Gaia and go run it.

 

@DRobs LMK id this pulls up on your Gaia

I dont have a picture but I get a state flag patch for every state the 4Runner travels into.

 

Here is a picture of my patches from national parks and other interesting places that I collected over my travels.




And here are my hunter safety patches and an old Fred Bear patch.

 

Do these count? These are a small sample from my students...I try to get a patch and/or coin from all of my classes.

 

What a wonderful group of patches. I notice many are from foreign countries. Are you teaching in foreign countries or teaching foreign studies online? Also, what subjects do you teach?

 

I teach flight/mission planning and aircraft performance software classes to civilian and military operators worldwide. I've been to approx thirty countries so far and probably thirty military bases. Sometimes they want to come to Denver, other times we'll go to their site. I'm mostly responsible for the Americas but we do go to Europe and Asia on occasion. No middle east or Africa though...those are handled by others.

 

This is totally off topic, but whatever floor that stuff is sitting on just gave me a major flashback. That's the same floor my childhood home had in the kitchen and down the hall to the laundry room.

 

Thanks. It’s very durable. Not even clean. Was carpet but the previous owner had a flea infestation so they pulled it.

 

Got this from “Shades of Green” resort while visiting Disney.

 

My summer '93 memory shirt (plus a curious puppy) and the vehicle that got us to all those awesome places. I need to take those off and put them somewhere else.

 

My wife collects pins from trips and awards, and National Parks/monuments, etc. Have enough that we have outgrown a Pendleton muchacho blanket! Will be migrating to a Chief's Robe when we finish the basement remodel!

 

My wife collects pins. We have ones varying from National Parks/Monuments from Denali to Chaco Canyon, organizations such as SASS that we belong(ed) to, awards from the Department of the Interior when I worked with them and miscellaneous others. They are attached to a Pendleton muchaco blanket. After we finish remodeling the basement, they will go onto a Chiefs Robe by Pendleton and be hung at the entrance to my man cave.

 

FWIW, I am not a patch guy but have a VTX wheels patch that came with my new wheels. If someone wants it, drop me a message with your address and I will send it to you. Its the color version:

I was working on small-bore Expert when I dropped out. We got pins instead of patches.

 

My first OHV:

 

One of the few pics I have of my dad's LC and honestly I don't even remember where that was taken. He passed last year and i found the pic while doing the memory board for his memorial. We went so many places that summer and my teenage brain mashed up all the memories.

 

Oh wow- I just took a close look and same here! Ours was more white and gray. IIRC, ours was a linoleum tile. In my parent’s house. Installed in ‘69 and still there when we sold it in 2012 or so. Dèjá vu!

 

Thanks it’s a discontinued print. And holding up well I just windexed it. Swiffer now and then. Dog pee’s on it don’t matter.

 

The previous owners granddaughter was just over and took pictures.

 

Radio Operator, my dad’s. Tracked icebergs.
