Lets See Your Impressions!

[MinorInHistory]

Here I am after a very long day of practicing squad tactics/scouting and patrolling - I seem a little too happy considering the amount of shrubs I dove into…

I'm not familiar with the flash hider on your AR15. What is that?

[USMC_COLLECTOR]

Thanks for the tip. However, I have seen these type of clear glasses popular with lrrps in Vietnam.

I have a plastic muzzle cover over my regular birdcage flash hider. Hope this helps!

Here’s a couple from Reading’s WWII Weekend.

About 25 years ago, the Museum of the Rockies, famous for dinosaurs and all that, let myself & my friend Dave do an exhibit of "Weapons that Changed the West" a history of Montana, using weapons, from Atlatls to ICBMs, with over 900 artifacts. It was fun! We did a study of weapons/firearms from atlatls & arrows, flintlocks, frontier weapons & those of the 20th Century. Some donors had a ton of automatic weapons, I got to fire all of them, including slow motion and all that. The Schnellfeuer as was the Lewis were the most fun, & being an M-60 gunner in the Abn Inf it was old school days. I'll have to dig a few more pics out. was fun I did my best at uniforms, some accurate, some not so much. Wearing a Nazi uniform was creepy as hell!!! Two pics are from the MORs "Fall Festival" mostly farming from the early 1900s. I did the US Army recruiting horses & mules... one million from MT alone, none ever came home. Girls on horses are three of my feral [seriously] students, cowgirls/barrel racers, in 1900 style, side saddle and period clothing. They really made my day!!!

Been about a month since this one was posted in, I am a newer joiner so I am going to start with a newer impression, this is mostly my uncles stuff, he was an MP in Baghdad from 2007-2008, he did two tours and I got some of his stuff. I am still working on getting name tapes and unit patches. But this is what I got so far.

Would like to see more impression photos posted here....

 

Here's my newest impression, a Platoon Sergeant assigned to a Scout Dog Platoon somewhere in Italy.

 

Taken November 11, 2023 at the Arkansas Air and Military Museum in Fayetteville, Arkansas.

I highly recommend that you dub your boots to keep your feet dry. :)
