Siygess Posted April 18, 2009 Report Share Posted April 18, 2009 Yeah I think you're right - the excess drag handle straps seem to be much wider on the BHI PC and that seems to match with the picture too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Peabird Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 I'm not 100% sure but I think it might be an Eagle PC without the cummerbund. It's pretty hard to tell from the picture above, but from this one (same guy, if the captions are correct) it certainly looks like an EPC from the back:  Not easy to tell 100%. I think that the pictures have been taken on several days, because you`ll different setups / changed gear... (helmet, rig etc.) A LBT 6094 (old type without velcro at the upper front molle) is a nice thing to see for me Now i need to order a CRYE shirt  Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost Sandman Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 (edited) The thread is about air force SOF units, your reference are not. Â Â Thats Donnie T aka Jarred from Ai magazine in the article So you wanna be a TACP. Found the pictures of the article. Â Now I am not sure if a TACP is considered AF SF, but I am assuming that because its in the title of the thread it's ok. IF you still find this to not be the place take it up with a mod please because I am done defending my position on why I posted in this thread and wheter Jarred is an actual TACP (which he was). Â Any help on inproving my kit would be appreciated. Edited April 20, 2009 by Ghost Sandman Quote Link to post Share on other sites

matfar Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Now I am not sure if a TACP is considered AF SF They're not, CCT are, not TACP (or JTAC now). I assume it's a mistake in the title, and maybe the topic can extend to TACP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost Sandman Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Well it says TACP in the thread title so Im good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted April 20, 2009 Report Share Posted April 20, 2009 Well too late to edit out the SEAL patch.

Hendrix2247 Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 in your reference pic, what ACU vest is that guy wearing? It almost looks like one of these. Â Yeah, I believe he is wearing an IOTV Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost Sandman Posted April 21, 2009 Report Share Posted April 21, 2009 Its a vest made by Alauda Centurion TAC SF 2, its made of Dyneema instead of Kevlar. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scooberoo Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Hey, the guy in the picture at the top of this page, posted by buzzsaw, what vest is e using? Â Final answer: Â Blackhawk Commando Chest Rig with BHI Rear Plate Carrier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Siygess Posted April 22, 2009 Report Share Posted April 22, 2009 Makes sense - I thought the pouches on the front were too far around the sides to be a regular BHI PC. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hispeed1 Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 @ GhostSandman: may I suggest spraying your black helmet with Krylon khaki/tan spray paint? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ghost Sandman Posted April 23, 2009 Report Share Posted April 23, 2009 I think I am taking your advice and spraying it to night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PynkPanthyr Posted April 25, 2009 Report Share Posted April 25, 2009 http://www.militaryphotos.net/forums/showthread.php?t=156086 Â First post. Â Â First Lt. Brent McCall, 101st Expeditionary Rescue Squadron combat rescue officer, and Tech. Sgt. Jedediah Smith, 101st ERQS pararescueman, load up their gear for a training mission in Northeastern Afghanistan, April 20. In addition to an M-4 assault rifle, combat medical gear and body armor, Sergeant Smith also packs his four-year-old daughter Mia's pre-school class teddy bear. The seven-year New York Air National Guardsman said he brings the little guy along with him on all his missions and writes letters to her school on behalf of the bear. "He pretty much goes everywhere I go," Sergeant Smith said, including the eight combat search and rescue missions he's done since he deployed here. (Photo by Staff Sgt.

Wrench Bender Posted April 28, 2009 Report Share Posted April 28, 2009 tactical teddy anyone? Â Â We had a pilot who pasked one around for his daughter. It had this friggin little passport too. He would have one of the loadmasters go and find a customs or imigration officer from wherever we were to stamp the darned thing every chance he got. It was like a ritual for him...... we would land park and complete the checklist then the bear would come out of his helmet bag and he would start his scann for the first E4 he laid his eyes on..... and you did not want to comeback empty handed either.
