<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lauragarnet, post: 53369, member: 105&quot;]as in 355 TAC FTR WG (DCOI) Inside parenthesis is exactly how it is engraved on silver plated mug/stein.</p><p><br /></p><p>The full inscription reads:</p><p>SAWADEE</p><p>SGT CHRISTOPHER R.

Graduating Interceptor Weapons School means he became an instructor?</p><p>And from the inscriptions, I can&#039;t figure out what job he did. Was he a pilot? Ground crew? Radar? or...?</p><p><br /></p><p>I hate it when things like this end up in a second-hand shop, especially when named. Had to &#039;rescue&#039;. Also, haven&#039;t had any luck finding any info about him on-line.</p><p>[ATTACH]13534[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]13535[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
