Nice gear! tape the spoons on your grenades, possibly get a bandolier or 2, and mabye paint your e-tool's handle sometime.

Spoons don't need tape, they're held in the the loops of canvas. Tape's almost impossible, because the whole spoon is in the canvas sleeve it goes into.
Nice setups Adler!

Nice Marine setup. Use a grenade ring on your suspenders to keep them together. It's an old marine trick

Adler- When you join the service, are you just going to tell them "No thanks, I'll use mine" when they start to issue you gear? ;D Slainte! -G

Nice OTV, it's the only piece of US gear which manages to look "cool".

The unit i belonged to fought in the Falklands , so we all carried the Falklands war patch on our uniforms, even though none of us that served at the time had fought there, and yes i have been there since the war , I used my US passport instead of my Argentinian one, dual citizenship is great.

Also at the end of the war , there was a huge migration of Germans into the country, and our president at the time(Peron) was pro Fascism so our Airforce got in touch with Adolf Galand and after a few talks, he became the Comanding officer of out Jet Fighter units , he flew Gloster Meteors and eventually brought along many ex Luftwaffe fighter aces , our entire Jet Fighter squadrons where manned by the Luftwaffe. ;D

Wow and I was worried bringing up 'Maggie Thatchers war' might touch a nerve and you go ahead and just admit that you guys were ex-nazi central...... yeah....let's just go ahead and change the subject back to pictures shall we binarypunisher- So yeah...see how I cleverly avoided asking him if he actually served then? Remember, we have a few people on the forum that were actually alive during the last century, so some jokes are for the grownups Slainte! -G

Haha, I used to have a olive drab version for the Marines. It had the EGA marked on it, and a large pocket high up on the back as well as the m16 pockets on the chest and around the waist. Other than that, it was the same. I couldn't find anything saying it was standard issue, so I guess troops took their fatigues and made them into vests, using the rest of the material for pockets. Very cool Adler.

Cool stuff! I've seen some OD versions in the pictures. If I remember correctly, Stanton wrote that an official, small batch (three-numbered anyways) was made, shipped in country and used, but it never got past testing phase.
