Did anyone ever receive a Navy issue watch?

Yeppers...I didn't get jack shit [regarding a wristwatch].

I remember them. Never had one myself of course but I do remember seeing them. I can actually recall someone bitching about having to turn their watch in when they separated. Ron and/or Hughie would of course be able to supply more information. Sure miss both of them.
Was able to meet up with ChuckMK23 for breakfast and the big NOMEX CWU-36/P party...with squadron/DET nametags, Randolph Engineering/AO sunglasses and a "Fun Meter" patch that I received from a USAF Herc driver about 25 years ago...good times! 
Popped collars, bitches!

During the big NOMEX party (posted above)...I discovered another "thread disintegration location" on my CWU-36/P...so after parting ways with Chuck, I ran across the street to Dunkin' Donuts and fixed the discrepancy with my handy-dandy onboard sewing kit.

I finished this thread lol.
A couple of thread specific pics from my 2011 visit to NASPcola to watch the Blues practice and tour the Naval Aviation Museum.
Our Museum tour guide, a three-patcher+nametag helo driver.
I don't recall seeing anything on the back of the jacket, so it seems the Air Boss followed regs lol

Time to break out the fuzz buster on them arm cuffs:Man...repairing the frayed waistband of my almost 30 year old issued G-1 is sort of getting old...only one thing to do...have another Dunkin' and keep on sewin'.
Affirm, sir...I had the cuffs replaced a while back...the material (although good on color) has proven to be quite fuzzy after some wear. I believe the wife unit has one of those fuzz buster jobs somewhere around the house...time to go on a mission and attempt to find it.Time to break out the fuzz buster on them arm cuffs:
