rice paddy daddy Posted January 28, 2012 Share #56 Posted January 28, 2012 You guys put a lot of work into this, for sure. Ya'll made me feel young again. Beezman, you hit close to home with the mention of 1/11 Infantry in post #21. That was one of the units in the 1st Brigade, 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized), as was my unit, the 75th Support Battalion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeuceGI Posted January 28, 2012 Share #57 Posted January 28, 2012 1st Cav back before I got fat: I'm wearing the 'chades. Got to ride in the Huey & do an air assault demo. It was fun. Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asianairborne Posted February 5, 2012 Share #63 Posted February 5, 2012 Is that a chicom rig that I see? I didnt know the US fielded captured ones in the Nam. Good idea though-Once again the GI does it again. An easy solution to a common problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jungle Rot Posted February 5, 2012 Share #64 Posted February 5, 2012 Some grunts used ones taken off of dead enemy soldiers. SKS rigs will actually fit 20 round M16 magazines quite well. Didn't happen too much though. It was most common among LRRPs and SEALs from what I understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apache26 Posted February 5, 2012 Share #65 Posted February 5, 2012 It was pretty common in line units around 1970. There are some very famous photos of 1st 'CAV grunts in Cambodia wearing the SKS rigs. They fit a total of 10 magazines (20 rounders) very snugly, but the toggles can be a pain to undo.

Link to album 2011 Nam Alfa Umm... okay, I get the dramatic effect of the fireball explosion in the background, but if this was this close and for real, everyone should be hunkered down in the dirt. Nice effect with the Huey's though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice effect with the Huey's though... Well, I think everyone realized that such Hollywood explosion is just drown. When I was much younger, I’ve made a napalm. About ½ gallon. It began burning without dramatic flashes of fire, just like a normal gasoline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jungle Rot Posted December 31, 2012 Share #74 Posted December 31, 2012 I've been collecting for a while, and do on occasion don my gear. Here's some impressions I've done. Finished Infantry Kit, April 2012. Portraying 1/22nd Infantry, 1968-1969. The only thing I really need is a Lightweight rucksack. Independence Day Photo: Some LRRP kits, I don't have facepaint on in any of these because they were just photos. LRRP with AKM. LRRP with tigers, these are repro Seaweaves but I have some repro JWD now. Also, I have removed the machete at the advice of a former Ranger. Advisor Kit, based on what my Grandfather wore. This kit is much more complete now, I ought to take updated pictures of this and a few other kits. "Back at the base" MACV Advisor impression, late 1965/early 1966. Taken today, need new boots and a Ridgeway cap. Still working on improving a lot of these kits, I'll post updates as I go along. Enjoy. -Brent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
