Trying to locate a 10" Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club Patch. Previously had one from Sasebo or Youkoska Japa in 1969. Also seeking DESRON 25 Patch. Any of you old shipmates from Westpac '69 still alive out there!

I see that there are quite a few Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club patches listed on Ebay but they are 3" to 5" in diameter. I bet if you kept checking Ebay, one will eventually show up. I did not find any DESRON 25 patches listed.

Thanks John! I've seen several catalogs with 3" and 5" too. Guess that's what I get for decluttering every time we moved, I can't find shit. Wife says it's pre-oldtimers.

Doc Coons! Don't know anything about Tonkin Gulf Yacht Club patches, but sure do remember you from 69 Westpac. Bet it's been a long time since you've had to treat any of those Subic Bay "diseases". You still in Illinois? Eveland (YN3) []

Ron,

I think I may remember you, but I'm not sure. I'm Richard Cooper, and I was the corpsman aboard from 65 to 67. Were you my replacement? How did it go?

Good luck finding that patch.

Coop,
Did you tell him not to screw up the water?
