SAC
MSET
Cookieman wrote, "MSET was
Maintenance and Standardization Evaluation Team. MSET was assigned to HQ
SAC at Offutt. They made unscheduled, no notice visits to SAC units in
the field and performed evaluations. They were not part of the SAC
Inspector General Team, but sometimes operated in conjunction with them.
Normal G.I.s at the bases hated to see them come, as they tended to be
pretty chicken shit and critical in their evaluations and checks. I
remember one incident where an MSET Guy checked a panel on the back of a
test set that had over 100 bolts securing it. He found three a little
loose, so that was three write-ups. This didn't effect the operation of
the equipment, but that was the way they were. Anyway, several varieties
of the patch exist. The patch always reflects those weapons systems being
used by SAC at the time. Yours reflects the B-52, B-58, KC-135 and AGM-28
Hound Dog. For a short time, the base motor pool came under MSET, and you
can find a similar patch with the Aircraft, Missiles, and a pick-up truck. |

Transient

"The transient alert patch
on you can you identify page is from the 6171 Combat Support Sq out of
Kwang Ju AFB Korea. I was the NCOIC of the
section and AGE shop in the early 1970's If you look in Jerry Polders
book for the 6171CSSQ you will find the Dragon on the unit insignia. We
had several variations made for guys who were there. The Ying Yang is
depicted also." Thanks to: John Davis 25 years
USAF ret. Note: this is a large 8" patch, obviously for back
of a flight jacket.
