Nice tunic and nice chevrons..!! 😁Back in my student days (early 1990s) my wife - to - be studied at Abertay university in Dundee, which isn't far from the town of Arbroath where 45 Commando were based, in a place called RM Condor. For that reason it wasn't unusual to see RMs wearing their #1 service uniforms if there was a town parade or something. Looked pretty smart parading down the street as an entire company or two. Mostly, however, you saw the RMs walking around in their camo workwear. They had a RM recruiting office in town and it was usually manned by butch marines with tattoos all over their arms and their heads full of air! (Sorry, old army joke..!)😛
Ha ha ! ..I can imagine that the 'pinchers' were covered in tattoos !! lol ..much like the press gangs of the previous centuries !! That's cool about four-five ! .. I spent a bit of time at 40 Cdo. at Norton Manor Camp near Taunton in Somerset back in the day. Wonderful cider !! I have not passed the commando course so I always smile at the memory of those days.. seeing all the lads in their combats and green lids and wishing for the same. Well It's an assault course to get out of bed and put my socks on these days !! lol.. and with a little fat dog trying to trip me over !! 😁😉 Blessings Al bro !!
That's awesome that you were in the USMC ..Semper Fi 👍💪 ..massive respect to you Sir ! I was only RMR ..which is a reserve unit.. and I was not awarded the green beret .as I decided to crash a motorcycle instead !! lol I had all the greens and blues but mostly wore a camo jacket !! lol Cheers to you !!
It’s nice you give the birds water. I’m sure it’s a joy watching them in your yard. Jimmy is a sweet dog but I think all dogs have a bit of guard dog in them. We’ll call it British oak instead of English oak. Haha. This is a nice jacket. I like the color. The navy is lucky to have their own color. Haha. Fascinating stuff Andy. Have a great day.
Cheers Mike bro ! I still have my own tunic from the RMR ..but I will never show it on UA-cam.. most of the RM tunics I have here belonged to old salts that I knew !! lol.. they gave away their kit when I had a militaria channel called 'Jim Timber Too' ..I deleted it because of the weirdos !! lol Thank heavens I now just have contact with good folk like you !! ..awesome !!
Ah i am so happy to see Jimmy back on his job, and he is fine now i think, thank you for sharing and this beautiful jacket 🥰🥰😍😍❤❤❤love it and love you Jimmy, have a great day friend
Thank you! 🤗 Blessings my friend ! ..yeah Jimmy is doing better on his tablets !! That jacket belonged to a friend of mine who was going to throw it away !! ..I said 'No No NO' lol 😁😁 Hope you are having an awesome week bro !!
Cheers Paul bro !! 🍻 Jimmy is more active now.. I will have to wait another week for his second blood test.. but I hope things will have improved ! Blessings mate !!
"Wow, what a piece of history! 🧥✨ That No.1 Service Dress tunic must hold so much character and pride, especially from a Colour Sergeant RM. 🇬🇧👏 Truly an incredible treasure!"
That’s really a nice dress blue jacket. The buttons are beautiful . Fancy. Hope you’re doing well. Hello Jimmy 😊Goodmorning and hope you have a blessed day !
Thanks so much D sweetheart ! I have more than a few of these jackets in my collection ! lol.. some belonged to senior officers !!. Jimmy is doing well on his new diet of tablets !! Have an awesome rest of week !! Blessings to you and your family as always !!
Ha ha ! I've done dozens mate !! lol.. I still feel a sense of elation when the canopy opens !! 🤣😂 ..otherwise I'm beady eyed looking for haystacks !! lol Blessings bro !!
Ha ha ! ''I'm Free !!'' lol ..loved that show and everything it represented !! Jimbers is okay for now.. he's really up for staying alive.. the Bee Gees have nothing on him !! lol Cheers Stan bro !! Blessings !!
Another Marine jacket Andy but I could tell you enjoyed that one. Yeah, big stripes for a big unit - cool to see the wings. They were marine but they all desired that airborne accolade. Well, good going - have a great weekend ahead. Mark
Massive respect to your Dad on this one Mark bro ..as I know he invented H.A.L.O ..and that must have taken some real guts !! ..I've dropped out of a few things in my day ..lol.. but my jumps were 9000 feet which was still crazy !! lol but I think your Dad would have dumped from 30000 which is freakin' awesome !! ..and then he would have reached terminal v at about 120 mph ..what a ride !! 😁 ..and then had to work out how to land.. was it two or three chutes ?? ..I forget ..but what an amazing thing to develop.. your Dad truly was a land speed record holder ..with wings !! Awesome bro !!
@@JimTimber Hey, thanks Andy. Well, he never invented but was one of a handful back then pioneering the technique. Great to gear of your own sky antics - I bet you smile at them now. Re-dad - yeah he was up that high. He lived for freefall. I guess he was pretty fast. Take care Andy - peace bro.
Amazing the detail surrounding this jacket. Fascinating. Thanks for the explanations. I’ll do my best to retain all of this , but what are the chances😂.
Thanks so much dear friend ! ..yes it was a colour sergeant's tunic.. and he was obviously quite the dude.. I restore these jackets if I can to a full uniform !!
Blessings Andy bro ! ..this was sent to me by a mate of mine who was having a clearout !! lol ..I guess my attic is a museum of old uniforms now !! lol
Well I know what they would have likely been.. Op Banner medal.. OS for Afghanistan.. Queen's Golden Jubilee medal and Medal for long service and good conduct ! Blessings to you as always !! X
Ha ! ..well some of them have been worn by my old mates.. but this one was given to me when I had my old channel 'Jim Timber Too' which was all military.. deleted it because of constant hate messages !! lol.. and so I do not remember the history of this tunic ..no names no pack drill !! lol I still have some bits of my own RMR kit.. but they are in the attic !! lol Blessings to you and Otis as always bro !!
Ha ha ! ..thanks ! Yes the air ballon is the 'color' sergeant part and the wings mean that this Marine passed 'P-Coy' and is a qualified parachutist !.. awesome !!

Do you ever get a back story of the people who have worn these uniforms? Just curious.
Ha ! ..well some of them have been worn by my old mates.. but this one was given to me when I had my old channel 'Jim Timber Too' which was all military.. deleted it because of constant hate messages !! lol.. and so I do not remember the history of this tunic ..no names no pack drill !! lol I still have some bits of my own RMR kit.. but they are in the attic !! lol
Blessings to you and Otis as always bro !!
Hahahahah I thought it said “old bunions” 😆🤭🤭
I think those uniforms are handsome
I love the hot air balloon patch with wings 🪽 🪽❤
Ha ha ! ..thanks ! Yes the air ballon is the 'color' sergeant part and the wings mean that this Marine passed 'P-Coy' and is a qualified parachutist !.. awesome !!
