Pretty cool, AF using the IOTV. Bonus: RAID modified ABUs

 

Edit: On second thought, it might just be the APECS jacket

I'm going to say it is an APECS. I don't think we're authorized to modify the ABUs yet. We're not even allowed to iron them. Supposedly.

I can't wait for my clothing allowance so I can grab myself a set. If I have enough I might grab another top and see about that RAID modification.

Airmen march toward a mock village during Individual Movement Technique training at the Fort Dix, N.J., improvised explosive device range. The training teaches troops how to conduct maneuvers in an unknown, often hostile, environment. The Airmen, members of USAF Class 25, are completing the Soldier Skills Training Course as they prepare for various deployments around the globe. There are about 75 Airmen currently going through the month-long course.

US forces are often mixed with people from all sorts of nations, namely NATO. My squadron has a few Canadians and Australians, for example. It's not unheard of.

Ohh..man that is so true. I went to my "A" school at Lackland AFB and it was a mixed school with the USAF SF. Those were some..let's say "friendly" females...and we were "fresh face" as they called it being the NAVY guys. It was good times...don't get me wrong.
