Nkomo Posted October 28, 2017 Share #1 Posted October 28, 2017 Stopped at a new surplus shop today. I was at the right place at the right time. Found two modified DCUs from a soldier in the 29th Infantry Brigade. One is a 6 pocket modified and has standard US insignia on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nkomo Posted October 28, 2017 Author Share #2 Posted October 28, 2017 Other DCU is a 4 pocket mod and has a theater made 29th patch, what look like theater made tapes, but standard 3rd ID SSI for the combat patch. In the pocket of this modified were three 04/05 dated AAFES pogs which would coincide with when the 29th was in Iraq. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MilRGRHistory Posted October 29, 2017 Share #7 Posted October 29, 2017 As you noted above, I would say those are theater made name tapes without a doubt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cap Camouflage Pattern I Posted November 1, 2017 Share #8 Posted November 1, 2017 The 3rd infantry one reminds me of Navy mods for some reason, maybe it's the rectangular glint/IR velcro instead of the usual square. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Martinjmpr Posted November 2, 2017 Share #9 Posted November 2, 2017 OMG, POGS! I still have a bunch from when I was in Kuwait. Do they still use those? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesuit Posted November 13, 2017 Share #10 Posted November 13, 2017 MartinJmpr, Yes, they still use the pogs in theater. I was in Kuwait earlier this year and picked a handful of them while at Camp Arifjan and Buerhing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
