Swing, Have You Ever Heard Of The Andrew Sisters? I'm Hoping So

cute blog i'm so so sorry I didn't see this earlier

It’s quite alright. I’m not the most frequent with posting so I typically just fly right under the radar.

One of my other hobbies I figured I’d share is that I collect old military uniforms for the purpose of restoring/preserving them. While most unfortunately don’t have names in them, the one on the far right in this picture does. It’s named to a gentleman who flew fifty missions in a B-29 Superfortress bomber over Japan as a crewman. I also help other collectors I know locate the veterans or the families of veterans who once possessed the items they have.

Welcome!

Welcome to the new tumblr ask blog for Swing Rhythm and the many other characters featured in The Rhythm of Love.

A rare sight to behold and it's now part of my collection. During WWII the United States Navy experimented with the idea of issuing garrison caps for the dungaree uniforms that could be interchangeable with the traditional dixie cup caps. The plan was eventually shelved and would never be considered again and officially died with the retirement of the dungaree uniforms in the 1990s. That wasn't to say that these caps didn't see use though. Much like the early Ike jackets, these were custom items that the sailor would have to pay for himself. They followed the same pattern as other US Navy and US Marine Corps garrison caps and fit well with the uniforms worn while at sea. These are extremely uncommon and this is actually the first time I've ever seen one in person. Knowing what it was and the fact it was only $4, I quickly snatched it up and now proudly have it in my collection with my US Navy Lieutenant's garrison cap.

The guys on Grindr are a whole ‘nother breed of guys I swear...

Those are some cool bomber jackets, I have a shoulder band for the Civil Defense of New Jersey as well as a patch I got from my uncle that says "Operation Iraqi Freedom". At my grandmother's house I found some WWI medals which had the State of New Jersey victory medal in a bad as well as some silk.

Thank you. Im about to start on a few more, two of which I’m hoping to sell. I’m also working on trying to find more stuff like the Civil Defense and WWI items like those. They’re usually a rarity around these parts except for the CD helmets which they sold surplus to the local coal mines.

Something else I do when I’m not writing MLP fanfics or being lazy, is train as aircrew to eventually fly our museum’s WWII B-25 bomber. As a student pilot, I’ve not gotten enough hours to train yet as copilot so for now I’m training as a flight engineer and navigator. For navigation, I sit in the most forward seat in the nose which is nicknamed “the greenhouse” because of all the windows which make it sweltering hot. But it always offers the best views.

PLEASE REBLOG…if you want.. and if you do it helps alot..thank you and good night my cuties .. I appreciate the help. 

Hey everyone. I just made a new blog for one of my other OCs and I’d really appreciate it if y’all could go follow it too. I’m going to bounce back and forth between the two but I’ll most likely be more active on the new one. Again, if you could go give it a follow it’d mean the world to me.

This is what I love about being a pilot, the beautiful views I get while flying along the river and being able to watch the sunset reflecting off the cliffs and the water.
