oh jeeze, thats really intersting. The modern german BDU compared to the Dot44! I never realized how little they have advanced. It's probably because I can't get that good a look of the too varients, but it certainly brings a new perspective when the 2 styles are next to eachother. That is modern German BDU's they are wearing, right? I may just be losing my mind...

I don´t know whose skull is that, but based on the size, our suggestion was kid or girl...so we gave her a name "Zdeňka" (Czech girl´s name:))) and she is now honorable member of our platoon (XCO).
Nice Cavalry loadout Hicks.

Nice Cavalry loadout Hicks. Judginging from my limited prununciation in Czech, I would say that in English that would be Jane(we have basicly the same name in Polish) . Good idea! Click

No, Jane is Jana, I was looking for the english translation of Zdeňka, but have not found it. Maybe we should stop OTs here.

Well in Polish, Zenia is Jane in English. They looked close so that is what I thought. Also, sometimes two names in Polish can only be translated into one name in English. And the same goes for English to Polish.
For example: Jim, James and Jacob can only be translated into Jakub.
And what do you mean by OT's?

viicii, will you be pleased if I'll tell you that i got it only for 85 bucks with shipping included? ;D btw. it's an S-2 size, it would be too small for you and nice gear. I see a helmet camo net on that picture. Where did you get it?

RAAAAAAAAAHHH!!! I HATE YOU :< But I must be happy to that it would be too small for me. Still brings tears to my eyes to see that price! Camo net is plain finnish issue, that I kryloned to tan. It works out very nicely, and brings out little details

It's an USMC issue helmet now adays, LWH stands for Light Weight Helmet. I could use a size L. The chinstrap alone would be nice too. Oh and, If you don't mind, could you ask also that do they have Interceptor body armor accessories there in coyote brown color, I'm looking for a IBA collar in size M. Thanks

DMZ Patrol Co., 30 Infantry Division [MECH], I Corps, Army Republic of Korea Still a work in progress. I need a weapon that's a little more modern than 70 years old lol, and my super 9 just doesn't cut it lol, even though it is uber 1337ness *sarcasm hehe. Most of the stuff I'm wearing came from this huge open market in Seoul, (except the pen brassard, which my cousin gave to me from when he was an APC commander, and the 30th Div. patch that I got from the National Military Museum) where they have a whole huge alley dedicated to militaria dealers. I spent most of my time there lol. i2.photobucket.com/albums/y5/GoForBroke/Korea%20Trip/IMG_0034.jpg*Note - I'm wearing the Korean Army's facsimile of woodland, you can compare it to the helmet cover which is US woodland. Similar, but not quite the same.
