seanmc1114 Posted March 20, 2015 Share #126 Posted March 20, 2015 Capt.jpg A Female Military Intelligence Captain unit and location unknown, circa 1980 with foliage. I can't answer for the exact unit, but I believe she was a basic training company commander at Fort Biloxi, which incidentally was also the location where Eugene Jerome took his basic training in 1945.

patches Posted May 6, 2015 Share #127 Posted May 6, 2015 Found another one with that scrub pine from that same April 81 FTX at Hood, I was sitting on the roof of our APC.

patches Posted June 6, 2015 Share #132 Posted June 6, 2015 Sergeant Harry Brannon, Manchu Vietnam has no cover at all on his pot, but as we see has used vehicle scrim held by his band. Brannon of C Co 4th of the 9th Inf 25th Div didn't make it, he made the Supreme Sacrifice in August 1966. http://www.virtualwall.org/db/BrannonHG01a.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patches Posted June 9, 2015 Share #133 Posted June 9, 2015 Forgot about this one, out on that May 82 ARTEP at Richardson, found this tiny piece of a vehicle net torn on the ground towards the start of the field problem and took this one long piece of scrim that was on it and tucked it under my band, Kinda like stuck a feather in my cap and called it macaroni Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seanmc1114 Posted June 17, 2015 Share #135 Posted June 17, 2015 SGT Allan H. Lambert, Co. B, 2nd Battle Group 127th Infantry 32nd Infantry Division during Exercise 'Bristle Cone' at Fort Irwin, CA in Mar. '62. I'm not sure if this was some kind of official desert camouflage cover or field expedient, but it looks like it is intended to show some sort of desert foliage pattern.

Justin Posted June 17, 2015 Share #136 Posted June 17, 2015 Great photo. To me the cover looks like standard burlap material fitted to the shell then the black outlines were drawn on in marker or paint. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rolf Posted June 18, 2015 Share #137 Posted June 18, 2015 And this third one, a newly commissioned 2nd Lieutenant (West Point or ROTC) under going training at the Infantry Officer Basic Course at Ft Benning summer 1982. phpjbAZKsAM.jpg Hmmmm! That El Tee looks like he has a muzzle cap on his flash hider. Doesn't want to get his pretty gun all gunky down the barrel. When I was a platoon daddy with the 9th ID at Ft. Lewis we had a visiting 3rd El Tee who tried that trick when we were in the field. When he wasn't looking, I took his M16 opened and locked the bolt, set it down in a big mud puddle then closed the bolt under the water. Should have seen the look on his face when he realized his bore looked like a sewer pipe. Platoon sergeants have no mercy. Better to be afraid of me than Comrade Ivan.

seanmc1114 Posted June 19, 2015 Share #138 Posted June 19, 2015 Here is an example of a Canadian soldier wearing helmet foliage. However, as the caption states, there is a U.S. connection: "A Canadian Seaforth Highlander poses with his C2 LMG, Fort Lewis, WA, USA. Early 1980s."
