      I remember our two legal clerks on Okinawa, both draftees, wearing them to the chagrin of the First Sergeant. This was in the summer of 1970. I think they only wore them once. With the cotton khaki short sleeved shirts, khaki knee socks, black low quarter shoes, they sure stood out from the rest of that morning work call formation. The rest of us were in our nice, heavily starched, OG-106 cotton sateen fatigue uniforms.

      Not really a new find but I was cleaning out the garage and forgot that I had this.  It came from a "Gubment" worker who was in the GWOT.  He had this and another one that was open.  I can't find much about them online.  Apparently, it was a DCU "cooling system" that saw limited use or distribution.  Made by "Mist' nGo".  I know that there is a vest, a skull cap and neck band.  Is anyone familiar with it?  Past my time.  I also posted in the DCU section.  Any assistance is appreciated.     Thanks in advance!   OD

      Here's a question for the DCU collectors...I was cleaning out the garage and forgot that I had this.  It came from a "Gubment" worker who was in the GWOT.  He had this and another one that was open.  I can't find much about them online.  Apparently, it was a DCU "cooling system" that saw limited use or distribution.  Made by "Mist' nGo".  I know that there is a vest, a skull cap and neck band.  Is anyone familiar with it?  Past my time.     Thanks in advance!   OD

      From what I gathered this is a M2 Jungle First Aid Medical Pouch so I would assume they were only used in the Pacific Theatre but would like to know if they were used in other theatres of the war?  Would these continue to be used after the war or were they replaced soon after?  Also if there is any other information or history concerning these is appreciated.    Thanks John

      This abbreviated uniform could be worn still, thought it went out by the mid 60s.

      I agree, unless it’s cheap.

      They use all caps in normal conversation probably so they can see the letters.    I don’t think they are yelling.   So many dog tags have gone through my hands that I’ve become jaded.
