Hello everybody. 

 

I've been helping out a guy I know who's working on an Invasion of Grenada impression, and we'd like to ask some veterans a couple of questions. 

 

Question 1. 

How common was chemical protective gear in the field? Like the gloves, boot covers, and gas mask. 

 

Question 2. 

Most of you probably remember those black leather gloves with green inserts. How common were those at the time?

 

Question 3. 

Did most people wear their issued black leather combat boots, or did most find some Vietnam-style jungle boots?

 

Question 4. 

He's going for a combat impression; should he have a rucksack or a buttpack? And what kinds/models?

 

Question 5. 

I know helmet graffiti was a big thing in Vietnam. Was it common in Grenada? If so, what would have been seen?

 

If you served in Grenada, I'd also like to know what unit you were with at the time. I may come back later with more questions. Thanks!
