    My baby sister was a Seabee and mentioned recently that she really misses her M-65 (stolen by crackheads a few years ago along with most of the gear she kept when she got out).

    I'm trying to find a replacement for her for Christmas, I need a Large Regular in the old woodland with the special Seabees pocket insignia. Anyone live near a base still and think they might be able to turn one up at a surplus or pawn shop?

    Next question - she earned a surface warfare insignia, do/did those go on the M-65? I had to put my wings on mine, but I have no freakin' clue about Navy uniforms and can't find an old enough copy of the uniform regs to cover the old field jackets.

    Thanks!
