Hello Fellow Air Force Patch Collectors and Friends:

My name is Craig Bogl. I though I would let you know about the guy who started this site 3 years ago. Web Design and Patch Collecting was and still is a big adventure for me.

To start off, I am a graduate of Port Huron High School, from the Class of 2001. I come from an Air Force family, and I am also a "Base Brat", from 2 bases including 366th Wing, Mountain Home AFB Idaho and 81st TRW, Keesler AFB, Mississippi. 127th Wing, Selfridge ANG Base is to the southwest of where I live. I am in the U.S. Air Force stationed at Dyess AFB, Texas.


Aside from collecting U.S. Air Force patches and flight gear, I enjoy lifting weights, Paintball/airsoft, music, hanging out with friends Aside from that, I am also a fan of the Port Huron High Schoolīs football team, the "Big Reds". I have been trading with very many trading partners since 1995 and this boosted up after the Internet got into our lives.

I started collecting Air Force patches in 1996. I then found Richard Operhallīs Air Force Patch page, which can be found in the "Links" section of my site. I am always finding new people to trade with, and by now I have approximately 20-25 trading partners, I will never give patch collecting up; it is too much of an ADDICTIVE hobby and you meet a lot of people in the process!! It is also fun!!

I hope this site provides you with an overview of what I like and with useful information. Feel free to e-mail me and say "Hi", or provide some suggestions. This is a seemingly neverending project, so please don't be too overly critical. Take care and have a nice day!
