DD has done 2 (really 1.5) tours as a FIWO in the INDO-PAC. As I understand it, in that role, one of her jobs it to provide Info to air and surface assets in real-time/near real-time. I gather she was pretty aggressive in getting info out to air assets quickly. She earned some atta-girls from her N-21s, along with some other stuff in her COC, but she wrote me that pilots had started "dropping by the office for the latest info" before launch, and a couple had given her personal thanks, along with a squadron patches. She said the other stuff was nice but when "an operator" thanked her, that was special.
Her FIWO days over, (at least for now), and her birthday coming up, I'd like to get a jacket (nylon or leather) and put her RimPac, SG, Staff, and those couple of squadron patches on it for her as a memento. I am having trouble locating a real flight jacket of a type that a female USN Flt Officer might wear.
Can anyone offer a place to look.
Note: DD is not a wanna-be pilot. She has been all intel since her plebe year; if there is a more appropriate jacket for this purpose Plz let me know.
Thanks for any help with this pretty minor problem.
