seanmc1114 Posted August 25, 2016 Share #183 Posted August 25, 2016 Member of Company A 2nd Battalion 502nd Infantry 101st Airborne Division at Chu Lai, Vietnam wearing some sort of animal horns along with what appears to be straw. Not sure if this was meant to be camouflage or he was just hamming it up for the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This guy's photo is shown as an example of the Vietnam war term FUGAZI , yeah is seen in this gigantic late 80s book on Vietnam, in the NAMSPEAK section Their definition of FUGAZI is Mad, Screwed Up.

patches Posted August 26, 2016 Share #185 Posted August 26, 2016 And one more from USAEUR where foliage is used. A 4th Armd Div Grunt, he's at Graf in 1969, looks like a Fire and Maneuver Range right, and he's ready to move out. He interestingly carries a Blooper too.

patches Posted September 4, 2016 Share #188 Posted September 4, 2016 Soldier of the 107th Armored Cavalry Regiment of the Ohio National Guard. Note he is wearing a woodland pattern helmet cover and paratrooper chin strap with OG-107 fatigues along with M-56 web gear. Great picture, strange he's not wearing his unit shoulder patch. it was out in early 1968, and in subdued by at least mid to late 69. Some more on the SSI of the 107th ACR OHNG, unit still wearing full color type is seen. http://www.usmilitariaforum.com/forums/index.php?/topic/163308-107th-armored-cavalry-patches/ Slight correction Sean, on the Chin Strap is your standard type issued first around mid 70s, the snap on type.

patches Posted September 6, 2016 Share #193 Posted September 6, 2016 And last one for tonight. A late 1982-early to mid 1983 Photo of a Wash NG ADA man of the 81st Separate Infantry Brigade (Photo is from the ARMY GREEN BOOK of 1983. Looks like he's wearing a BDU Pile Cap? (see flap laying on shoulder top) Curious as to when these came out, I got out in mid December 1982 from Alaska, got the BDUs up there late, early May 1982, but no BDU pile cap, not even towards the early winter of 1982 (IE Oct-Nov) did we see these.
