      I recently seen this 503rd officer uniform based on the corregidor battle, I was wondering if this is a authentic uniform or not

      Another note, not all medics carried the same stuff. There were standard things like the tag book, safety pins, etc. but majority of medics would carry what the deemed most useful. Some might have carried more bandages or gauze, others less and medicine or sulpha tablets. The type of medic would also matter. Whether you’re a combat medic. A field hospital medic, or one stationed at a battalion aid station. They all carried different stuff for the task at hand.

      Hey folks, Today at the local swap meet I picked up a perhaps unissued 2nd pattern jungle jacket from some guy who sells used clothes.  Has the shoulder straps, waist adjuster, etc.  Has all three white tags.  Has never had any patches on it, including name tag or US Army tag.  Nothing.  So, my question is, during which years were these jackets issued?  I don't know since this is not my collecting area.    Thanks, Steve

      Not being a member of any organized religious group, I will say it’s best to defer to the folks here who are on this one.  It’s good of you to ask opinions about this beforehand, though.  mikie

      Makes sense in the 80s Vietnam collecting really wasn't a thing as it is today. Now I'm sure there was probably at least a few people collecting Vietnam stuff at that time, but definitely not as big as it is today. I didn't end up buying it, maybe I should have but I decided to pass it up.

      I would buy that for $20 in a heartbeat; however, I think it was used more recently than the Vietnam War.  The name and US Army tape are a type commonly used in the 80s, and the shirt seems to have the ghost of a Special Forces tab, which wasn't authorized until 1983.  Vietnam-era jungle fatigues were authorized for hot weather wear in the 1980s and I saw soldiers wearing second or even first pattern fatigues because they had no real collector value at the time.  A lot of them were organizational property, which meant they often had fade patterns from a variety of patches.

      That would be a good secondary option. Thanks Jerry.

      Thank you! That was my thought as well, though the online source I found says WWII.

      I just took a closer look at this and I was mistaken.   This appears to be an Anniversary Meal for Lafayette College in Easton, PA
