USAF TAC (Tactical Air Command) - Sea Survival School Patch
PRAEMONITI AC PARATI (Latin for ¨Forwarned & Forearmed¨)
This is a super rare vintage patch. Hard to find!
In August 1962 the TAC Sea Survival School was started at Langley AFB, VA and Homestead AFB, FL by one Life Support Officer Maj Wayne E. Williams, and six Life Support personnel. For more info, read this interesting article HERE.
Left to Right SSgt Paul Swindell, SMSgt William Leighton, Maj. Wayne Williams, (Student), SSgt James Stanford and TSgt Clarence L. Lewey, all wearing the TAC-SSS insignia on their shirts.
