Great find early issue or probably first style UDT-11 SSI sewn on first style OG-107 OD fatigues with squared off pocket flaps and white tapes. This person's nickname was RJ and was only 22 when he died of a medical issue during a run at Subic Bay in 1964. https://www.navysealmuseum.org/memorial-wall/vietnam/richard-r-j-john-coates -

Looking for some help identifying what type of round this was. The base of the case looks turned and without any markings. The case mouth is 2.5 inches. Projectile is about 9 inches long. Thank you, Spearhead -

A desert tiger stripe uniform from a US Special Forces advisor to the Iraqi Special Commandos/SWAT. The uniform is a standard Chinese made set (yellow tags), but was tailored in Iraq. The jacket has been modified into a combat shirt by adding the jacket sleeves to a t-shirt base. During the Global War on Terror (GWOT), USSF advisors did wear the uniforms of the units they advised/trained. That is the case with this uniform. Uniform came from Ft Bragg. -

But you're right about jungle fatigues, I heard from older collectors in the 70s, 80s, and 90s and even after Vietnam ended. That jungle fatigue were dirt cheap to the point where surplus stores refused to buy any. I don't know if this is true but an old guy working at a surplus store. Claimed after Vietnam ended you could go to your nearest dumpster and see piles of jungle fatigues, m1 helmets and m56 gear. I believe him on the jungle fatigues but not sure if I believe the rest of that statement.
