OT: Who else has a ditty bag?

I do. And yes, I never heard anyone call it a ditty bag except for my dad. In fact, my ditty bag used to my dad's. When he passed, I got his watch and his ditty bag.
I always assumed "ditty bag" was a term he picked up in the military but I never asked him about it.
 
Got my first ditty bag when I joined the army and have had one ever since... some 30 years later.
 
as opposed to a D-Bag aka Douche Bag?

I have mine. Ditty bag, alert bag. My son is in now. I will ask him when we talk next. His big thing was Bug Out Bag. I did teach his platoon about Ditty Mow, D-D Mow, and all others forms there off. All his buddies real like that, as well as This is all D@@@ up. Not to political correct, but I was laughing my a$$ off.
 
I was issued a ditty bag in Navy Boot Camp (Great Lakes) almost 50 years ago. It's stowed away in the attic but still in pristine condition.
 
I use a ziplok bag for that stuff now and I call it a ziplok bag. I used to have a ditty bag.
