I bought another M-65 field jacket today. This one, however, still has all the rank and patches attached. Can any of you help identify what these are exactly?

Thank you, everyone. This jacket belonged to quite the badass, it seems.

Well, depends on how you define badass. The captain who owned the jacket completed his jump training and pathfinder training and was a pilot; no ranger tabs or anything like that so not part of SOG (though the patches may not have been on the jacket).
Pathfinder training is tough though, so whoever owned the jacket had some hard spirit. I am guessing a combat rated pilot (attach helicopters/troop transport/etc) though it is hard to tell with those basic badges :)

Since this one has all the military patches, I'm designating it my "Travis Bickle" jacket. The other M-65 will be my "James Sunderland" jacket once I order all the custom patches.
