Dave. none of my books show pink as a service color. the rest of the hat looks good , but I would swear it was red & white and the colors ran = 2 shades pink. but the rest of the hat is not dis colored. even fld. art. / coastal art. is shown as 2 different reds together on the piping (in this book).
hopefully some one else has a clue. jeff

I would bet Ordnance Corp. It is called crimson on the charts but the neck scarves we wore were more pink than anything.

Let me expand a bit. This is 1964-1966. I was in Army doing missile repair. 2nd echelon and higher is Ordnance responsibility. On semi important occasions we worn neck scarves indicative of our branch. Infantry = powder blue, Cavalry = yellow, etc. Ordnance was pink, no matter what they called it on the charts and Artillery was red. Your might be either, but I would pick Ordnance.

O.K. but, in ww2 the Ordnance department was red (or pink) with yellow = 2 different colors. engineers were red & white. art was red & red. transportation was crimson & gold yellow adjutant general's dept. was red & blue medical was burgundy & white. no other "red" colors.
any one know when the army discontinued piping colors on over seas caps (ect.) ? jeff
