Philip Posted April 6, 2010 Share #8 Posted April 6, 2010 Your background doesn't match! Quite good job but isn't the M16A2 more typical for the ODS time frame? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnipunk Posted April 6, 2010 Author Share #9 Posted April 6, 2010 Background doesn't match because i didn't find any desert around I should use m16a2 but at the moment i haven't got one, also the waistbelt in the alice pack isn't correct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet Posted April 6, 2010 Share #11 Posted April 6, 2010 Well done! How easy is it to source this GI stuff in Poland? Do you have to rely upon imports bought via the internet? Sabrejet :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sabrejet :thumbsup: There are many collectors in Poland so it's not so difficult to find gear, I usually buy via internet but in Poland, sometimes during some collectors and reenactors events. The most important stuff to find at the moment is m17 gas mask and genuine 6colour DCU's All the best :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Francis Marion Posted May 2, 2010 Share #19 Posted May 2, 2010 Cool pictures! Nice to see more guys from Poland here. I keep seeing flashlights mounted on the right shoulder in these impression photos. It was a common practice by REMFs but no experienced infantryman would have a bulky item like that on their firing shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snake36bravo Posted May 8, 2010 Share #20 Posted May 8, 2010 I haven't got pants, i'm looking for a pair, i wear small reg, med reg is ok as wellAll the best I've got access to some trousers if you need them. There are dead stock though with no wear. PM Me. I'll see what I can do for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other than that I carried a pen light. If you look at photos of DS though you will see these being worn prior to the proverbial hitting the fan when we went over the wire. Also, just wanted to add those are both nice impressions and I'm not knocking them at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
USMCRECON Posted May 10, 2010 Share #22 Posted May 10, 2010 I haven't got pants, i'm looking for a pair, i wear small reg, med reg is ok as wellAll the best I wouldn't worry all that much about not having night desert overtrousers. To the best of my recollection, the night desert trousers were seldom worn during Desert Storm....I had the parka (still have it) but was never even issued the trousers as SOCCENT.

You could call it northern Iraq and probably get away with it. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I disagree whole-heartedly! In my unit, the night camo trousers were widely worn- as pajama pants! :w00t: Seriously! That being said, I never saw them worn with the night parka, which we wore all of the time WITH the parka liner. It got cold at night, especially in January and February.
