Other than your weapon, what was your most prized possession?

I want to play. Two things- one issued, one non issue(sort of). We were issued steel toed shoes on the flight line. They'd get so tattered that we used duct tape to hold the soles on. One night this idiot showed up for work drunk. I should have known enough to stay clear of him but he managed to run over my foot with a 1 ton tow tractor. Those shoes saved my foot. When winter came (Texas) we were issued warmer jackets. These were just a pile of surplus coats from where ever. Guys grabbed the cool looking M 43's(?). They didn't have liners. I'm from Alaska and I take cold weather seriously. I found a fleeced line jacket with a heavy collar with sleeves long enough for my lanky body. I loved that jacket. I brought it home with me but it got ruined.

Just found my good fishing Hat from Diego Garcia, I have another boony hat that used to have all my deployments written in the headband but they have faded out, and I still have my Cowboy Sheriff hat I wore in Turkey. I think I have a thing for hats...LOL

Served with the 187th Airborne RCT in Korea during 1951. I picked up a japanese bayonet during early advances. Had it chromed when we got back off the line. But, time to go home MP's said it was not on the list to TAKE home. I asked if it was on any list that said it COULD NOT be taken home. MP said "NO". Needless to say he got my bayonet. Hope he sat on it................

Weapons are NOT possessions-you can't keep them.
