Moley Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Recently started collecting UPT class patches from students we support here at Vance. Would love to see how creative they get. Here is 24-05. Feel free to post an image of your class patch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HuggyU2 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Haha!  More of a combination of no artists and a bit of ambivalence. The other one we had was entirely too sexual, even for 1985. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Ratner Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 I designed this one. Probably my biggest achievement in an otherwise unremarkable career 😂🤣 3 1 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On that note, I'll post the patch from my daughter's class at CBM. They had "Blaze Studs" on it originally, but that was rejected by the Vice Commander of Fun for who knows what reason.  He's now the CC of Holloman.  Sorry, HMN folks   Edited December 17, 2023 by HuggyU2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
disgruntledemployee Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Not mine, but I always liked that this one got passed the censors.  BTW, I found it on this cat's website, quite a robust collection: https://www.usafupt.com/ https://www.usafupt.com/id21.htm directly to the class patch section.

I'm good friends with the creator of that site, Jim is a great guy. He loves anything UPT related. I've sent him a few from Vance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Made it through PA, but then people started wearing them sideways. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I was at Vance during this time period.   My class was all male. We made a patch that had a bunch of hot dogs at a party and it said (UPT, it's a party) like sausage party. For our solo tank, we painted a bunch of hotdogs on it. We also put bags of hotdogs in the solo tank. We had to dive in and pull a dog out with your mouth. This lasted about a week. They made us repaint the solo tank, remove the hotdogs from the water and then they banned our patch. I never got to wear a class patch at Vance as I went to Rucker before my new fixed wing class patch was approved.  Edit: VANCE PATCH mailed to me by my classmates.  They even made a koozie. Rucker class photo. There is one these hanging on the wall at the 23rd, Rucker; for almost every class that has graduated. Three wolve moon!!!! Rucker patch: FOR BANJO: For SALTY and BOOT: MHATTS: Bonus: I got this one in 2003 when I bummed rides across the active runway, drunk as fuck and in uniform. The guy driving the van gave it to me (sts). I walked up to the marshsaller as he was getting ready to taxi out an airbus that was flying for the airshow. RAF Fairford.  SrA Biff. signed by Ben Affleck when he was with Jenny from the Block. He was drinking whiskey with some aircrew.  Other patches from dudes I met and partied with: Edited December 18, 2023 by Biff_T Afterthought Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
