Hey Brad, I collect unit patches and would love to get some of those. Are you sure you are wanting to get rid of those?

Thu Feb 12, 2009 5:41 pm

What would it cost to have you send the Crew Chief patch direct to CAF HQ?

That one needs to be given to Gary. :)

Thu Feb 12, 2009 5:42 pm

I agree with Jack...are you ok?

I can understand some extra patches and stuff...but the medals? Ribbons?
Things you have earned with hard work and sticking your hiney out in the wind?

Thu Feb 12, 2009 6:09 pm

Whatever is prompting this I hope you are well.

It brings to mind the song "When a Cricketeer leaves the Crease."
OK two songs... ahem...

"C-130 heading down the strip
Airborne-Ranger gonna take a little trip
If that chute don't open wide..."
The ditty kinda goes downhill from there.

Thanks for the service that earned these and
ALL THE BEST.

Johnathan Bradley Pilgram. That looks like the box of stuff I want to get rid of after 20 years of the AF! Nothing wrong with purging a bit of extra stuff. Give me a call at 692-2590. You remember the area code. I am still cranking out checkrides at 39th Stan/Eval. Talk to you soon.

P.S. Got any models to give away! LOL!!!

Brad, please don't tell us how you earned those female stripes here on the board, OK? :shock: Anything with "hiney" and "wind" in the same PARAGRAPH is strictly off-limits!

If you have anything with a picture of a C-17 on it (patches or stickers) I would be a happy recipient. :wink:

For all of you guys that might be thinking.........

I just got off the phone with Brad. Everything is just fine. He had some extra junk in a box and rather than throwing it away, he thought he would offer it up to everybody here on WIX. Grand gesture if you ask me.

How many air medals does a guy need! LOL.

I still think he flys a girlie airplane!
