Alone and Unafraid military patch

Trevor Paglen has a companion site for his excellent book "I Could Tell You But Then You Would Have to be Destroyed by Me: Emblems from the Black World" that includes various patches that didn't make it into the book. There was one Alone and Unafraid patch at eBay when I checked. Via.

Master of Space Air Force patch

Wikipedia:

The 50th Space Wing (50 SW) is a wing of the United States Air Force under the major command of Air Force Space Command (AFSPC). It was activated on 30 January 1992, replacing the 2d Space Wing, which was deactivated on the same date. The unit is the host wing at Schriever Air Force Base, located east of Colorado Springs, Colorado. Their primary responsibility is to track and maintain the command and control, warning, navigational, and communications satellites for AFSPC. The 50th Space Wing also manages the Global Positioning System.

Skull badge for a girl scout troop in California (and more)

Green and gold skull badge by Nerd Merit Badges for a California girl scout troop.

While exploring the Nerd Merit Badge gallery, I learned about the Guerilla Drive-In project in Pennsylvania. If I understood it right, in order to find out where movies will be shown, you have to locate the secret access code. Finding the access code now involves ice cream sundaes and a message recorded in Russian:
