gunbunny Posted May 10, 2010 Share #1 Posted May 10, 2010 I bought a small photo album that belonged to a U.S. Marine serving in Vietnam. The highlight was this photo showing him in duck hunter camo. I believe it was taken early in 1967. Note the green lining. Note also the M14 and early ammo pouches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

River Patrol Posted May 10, 2010 Share #3 Posted May 10, 2010 That's a really nice photo....note the pocket shape too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmiraldi67 Posted May 10, 2010 Share #4 Posted May 10, 2010 Thats an awsome photo!! Note also his cowboy hat is in the ARVN Invisible pattern of the ARVN Ranger pattern. After River patrol pointed out the pocket flaps, Im thinking it very well could be ROK Marine camo, I wish I could see if its HBT material. But Im going to guess that it is most likely the ROK marine pattern, but then again I could be wrong. Still a super cool picture for sure!!!!!! paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

USMCRECON Posted May 12, 2010 Share #7 Posted May 12, 2010 Likely he was an advisor to the ROKMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwmiraldi67 Posted May 12, 2010 Share #8 Posted May 12, 2010 Likely he was an advisor to the ROKMC. Tough to say, he looks really young to be advising, Ive seen some Recon Marine (not 1st hand) but in photos wearing just about all types of camo, still really cool photo and lots of good posts!! thanks paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one time I had a nice set of OG fatigues that were all badged out for a young Lt advisor to the ROKMC. It was sweet too, all that red insignia! Also, check the rings, one of those could be a class ring, maybe USNA or Citadel. Plus thats alot of jewelry to be wearing on a recon, even if he is posing. Well, thats mt W.A.G. anyway.
