I have the sad

Well, I suppose it was inevitable. After 30 years, my boonie cap I was issued in 1995 when my unit was heading to Fort Sherman in Panama for jungle training, is getting close to being retired.
It has served me well as my fishing hat for the last several years. I'm actually surprised it has lasted this long.
I'll never get rid of it, but it may be time to pin it to the wall of my reloading room as a memory of good times had.
Anybody else got any old gear that has stood the test of time?

Still have mine. Numerous trips to Panama, Honduras in the 80s and 90s…and points elsewhere. I think its stuffed in my Alice ruck. Still have my bootcamp issued duffel.
