Eizen Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Actually he is a Navy Seal The caption should be: A U.S. Air Force joint-terminal attack controller, a U.S. Army Special Forces team leader, and a U.S. Navy SEALs team leader, all with Special Operations Task Force - South, survey the surrounding area during the early morning hours of an operation to impede insurgent activity in northern Khakrez District, March 12, in Kandahar province, Afghanistan. The joint operation, led by the Afghan National Army's 3rd Commando Kandak, yielded 80lbs of homemade explosives, two 107mm rockets, as well as quantities of small arms and ammunitions. Also on the operation was the Khakrez District Chief of Police, Mullah Gul. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PynkPanthyr Posted March 15, 2011 Report Share Posted March 15, 2011 Ahh sorry about that, i just copied the caption i saw with the picture originally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogfish Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 (edited) But images like this are hitting the web as supposed AFSOC. There are some issues with this image (I can't remember where I saw the others) but others are more likely AFSOC guys and not SEALs. On another note what hydro pouch are those guys in PynkPanther's image? Edited March 16, 2011 by frogfish Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Pkekyo-Nor Posted March 16, 2011 Report Share Posted March 16, 2011 Last i heard, Eagle only made limited quantities of this plate carrier in various colors as a once-off to relieve LBT a bit when they had a pretty big backlog. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Snowman1 Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 For all those wondering if CCTs use AOR1, I can put your mind at ease. Yes I'm sure, A) read the IR patch, B] I took the pic. CCT at the McChord Air Fair, July 2010. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PynkPanthyr Posted March 20, 2011 Report Share Posted March 20, 2011 There have been other confirmed pictures of CCT's with AOR1 for a while now. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PavelPJ Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 I finally did GACK for my PJs impression. The base is Paraclete HPC w/ cummerbund what I used before. I tried to do it as the original Paraclete GACK as I could. Only one thing I do differently, I used instead of buckles on the shoulders of para cord. Because a big plastic buckle on shoulder seems to me as ######. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nasty_TheYankWelshOne Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 Does anyone know if PJs are ever embedded with units, or do they operate on their own until *suitcase* hits the fan? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jolly15 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 When they're attached to a STS they get attached to other units. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nasty_TheYankWelshOne Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Might not be AFSOC, but I managed to snag a Massif ABS for $15 today, and I discovered that ABUs look great with RG gear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Pkekyo-Nor Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 $15 USD? That's a sodding steal! Congrats. And yes, RG/SG looks much better than any other color with ABUs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nasty_TheYankWelshOne Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 $15 USD? That's a sodding steal! Congrats. And yes, RG/SG looks much better than any other color with ABUs. Yeah it is. I found it buried under a bunch of Army combat shirts at a surplus store by Fairchild AFB. I just glanced at the pile and saw a sleeve hanging out, and said to myself "You know, that looks like ABU....", followed by "oh cool, it's an ABS", and finally followed by "HOLY CHRIST BALLS, IT'S 15 DOLLARS".

Nasty_TheYankWelshOne Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Yeah, I really lucked out. Thank God for surplus store owners not looking up the price of their products before they price them Also, are PJs and CCTs using the BaE Eclipse RBAV now? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PynkPanthyr Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 You answered your own question by posting those reference pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nasty_TheYankWelshOne Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 You answered your own question by posting those reference pictures. Just wanted to double check that they were in fact RBAVs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cfg123 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 Yah, it's the RBAV made for them. I think it's the RBAV-AF Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nasty_TheYankWelshOne Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) Yah, it's the RBAV made for them. I think it's the RBAV-AF Excellent, AND I just found out I can buy the RBAV-AF, so that's brilliant. Are the RBAV-AFs used by AFSOC khaki or CB?

The Crunchy Bunny Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 I was under the impression Nasty's second photo was either Army SF or a Ranger Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nasty_TheYankWelshOne Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 (edited) I was under the impression Nasty's second photo was either Army SF or a Ranger I'm pretty sure it's a USAF CCT attached to a Ranger unit. Another picture of suspected CCT with Rangers; Edited April 1, 2011 by Nasty_TheYankWelshOne Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PynkPanthyr Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 Its a CCT. Also i think just the PJ's are using the AF version, but im not sure. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matfar Posted April 3, 2011 Report Share Posted April 3, 2011 Not CCT, TACP. AFAIK TACP are embedded in Ranger Bats, not CCT. CCT and Rangers are working together when part of a QRF if I'm right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
