My field jacket and cap, ribbons and insignia. My boots have all been worn out and have been discarded in the 4.5 decades since I got out, as have my jungle fatigues. Sorry to have seen them go.

Capt Seid Waddell, ah....a field jacket, I still have my original BDU one although since the introduction of the ECWS gortex, it hasn't been utilized. Now the field jacket liner is another story. I stil wear that thing under my OCP top when it dips below 10 degrees.

What are some of the items that you haven't gotten rid of since you retired or left the service?

Yeah, I still wear my dog tags and gortex when it rains. It took a few years, but I finally got rid of most of the rest. I do still have a couple of the old extreme cold weather sleeping bags from a million years ago. Those things are awesome

Going to be buried in my service dress one day so I've kept those. Still have a pair of jungle boots that traveled with me everywhere I went. May bronze those one day.
