Description

The listing, I'm showing my PRIVATES! (Rank Insignia Pins!) US Army subdued has ended.

This auction is for US Army rank insignia pins. I have seven pins for the rank of PRIVATE and five pins for the rank of PRIVATE FIRST CLASS (PFC). These pins are subdued which means they go on BDUs, not your dress greens. I imagine these pins are easy for the active soldier to lose, so why not get yourself or a soldier that you love some spares?

Hi.fanning u.I saw this and was amazed how anyone wd be distributing these to civilians, but then I thought, oh, I am one now too.lol..I had an incident with a sergeant of my new unit right after my states transfer because of my maternity duty request and instead of putting my request thru, he put my entire folder, paperwork back to the mepscat unit and honorably discharged me, 3 years before the end of my end duty.I couldn't fight it, was too weak from my pregnancy,and afterwards baby was diagnosed with 2 autoimmune disorders which left me no time again, her father-not in the pic.my family alienated me.I felt she needed me more than I needed to fight the military for my honor.now I've had 2 heart attacks and am on all sorts of med, and not because I'm overweight.my point to this is someone stole my military pins and jewelry and combat boods and uniforms one day while I was at hospital with baby.I sure wd like tto replace that honor without having to beg another sergeant somewhere who isn't into liking me for the color of my skin or hair.

Thanks for fanning me. :) I found these in a bin at the Goodwill the other night. I don't know if they were lost by a soldier or from an Army surplus store or what, but I knew they'd be useful to someone. If I find some sergeant ranks someday I'll put those up, too. :)
