Mr-X Posted May 28, 2008 #61 Posted May 28, 2008 Here is a DCU-BDU grouping that I got from a fellow member of this forum. Capt Paul Leo Larson 173rd Airborne Brigade Chalk 1, Operation Northern Delay Bashur Drop Zone, Northern Iraq 24th March 2003 Awarded Bronze Star Combat Parachutist Badge: For participation in a parachute assault landing into enemy controlled territory.

This photo was taken on the flight line on the day of the jump. DCU. Notice from the print that it is the same jacket shown above. BDU Favorite load carry equipment with the 173rd at the time, Capt Larson's ALICE Web gear.

Hey Jim, thats funny Did they all have combat patches? Were they the in-country type like the ones on this uniform? The trousers with this set had a helmet band sized name tape on them.
KMAG Posted May 28, 2008 #63 Posted May 28, 2008 Got surprised when I walked in the door by the lady friend and she got me as I bent over to drop my Med bag Heres the only one I have access to at work HN Fritz B company 1st Battalion 25th Marines 4th Marine Division Can post Vest and Med gear pics after if wanted!

jim2 Posted May 29, 2008 #65 Posted May 29, 2008 Hey Jim,thats funny Did they all have combat patches? Were they the in-country type like the ones on this uniform? The trousers with this set had a helmet band sized name tape on them. I believe 2 out of the 3 sets had combat patches, and all the pants had the same small name tapes. I purchased them back-in the beginning of 2005. In his description he said that he used them in OIF in 2005 & one had some small burn marks where a friend had accidently caught his shirt on fire when they were trying to stay warm. I kept the nicest set for myself and sold the other 2 sets. Did you get your set on ebay also?

My set is the one with the burn holes. Now I know how they got there.
Sbas Posted June 8, 2008 Author #67 Posted June 8, 2008 Got myself a new DCU. Its named to 82nd AB Specialist Ezo on the label, and EZO is also pressed in the fabric where the name tape once was.
Sbas Posted June 8, 2008 Author #69 Posted June 8, 2008 I see you dont have to worry about not having enough .50 ammo
ItemCo16527 Posted June 9, 2008 #70 Posted June 9, 2008 This is an obscure Long Range Surveillance Unit, the exact unit escapes me at the moment: Looks like the shoulder patch of the 201st Battlefield Surveillance Brigade (formerly the 201st Military Intelligence Brigade). Very nice find! (LINK)
