I need a little infor on some patches. I was over in DaNang while it was still Boatron One-PCF Div 102. And I can't remember the patch. Is this Coastal 1 Squaoron be the same patch? I making another order and if so will order it also.
Thank You

I am not an expert on the patches of the "Boat Squadron"
and the "Boat Divisions" before they changed names in 66
to "Coastal Squadron One" and "Coastal Division {11 to 16)"
.
How-some-ever. I would venture a wild guess that either
a) Boat Division 102 did not have a patch or b) The patch
was exactly like one of the two versions of the CosDiv 12
patches that are sold through the SBSA web site.
.
The name "Boat Division 102" did not last too terribly long.
Only from January 1966 until the end of 1966.
.
I will stand corrected if an old timer begs to differ

Albert, I do not remember any patches whilst we were there. We had someone who went to Japan on R&R come up with coffee cups and the Blue Oval. I was there 5-66 to 5-67 in Div 102
