PavelPJ Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Thanks buddy but I already used HPC for some time and look forward to get a new plate carrier. As I said I' working on my own GACK from HPC and I would like to see a details of "original GACK" for make it same as PJ's GACK as I can. Another thing is that I'm a huge fan of gear and hate cheap copy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faint Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 Did the Airforce ever issue a Garrison Cover, I am throwing a loadout from the early 80's in tribute of my dad, I never was a fan of the barets he wore. He was a MP. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He was a MP. Security Police you mean? As far as a Garrison Cover, if you mean a flight cap, I think they were only issued for use with a dress uniform. A work uniform (BDUs if mid 80's or ODs if early 80's) would be used either with a helmet or a patrol cap (or whatever they were called back then). Basically, if you don't want to wear a beret, go with either a patrol cap or helmet. They wouldn't be wearing a flight (garrison) cap with a work uniform. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Faint Posted January 10, 2011 Report Share Posted January 10, 2011 His badge on his uniforms says Military Police, not Security Police. I honestly don't know much about what he did in the Airforce, he retired when I was still really young. His Uniform is the standard M81 Woodland. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly don't know much about what he did in the Airforce, he retired when I was still really young. His Uniform is the standard M81 Woodland. You sure he did that in the Air Force? Because they were Security Police from '67 to '97, and Security Forces since then. Anyway, he'd be wearing a beret or helmet. The berets replace other soft covers (either patrol or flight caps). So if you don't want to rock a beret (if you do, get one without the flash), I'd pick yourself up a PASGT. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Amenthea Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 CCT (unconfirmed) - Pic removed, don't need to quote it its only just up there ^ I'm most likely wrong but I thought I'd heard only SEALS have AOR1/NWU II issued to them? Would a CCT deployed with a SEAL team get access to their stuff and be allowed to wear it? I can't remember seeing any other pics of CCTs in AOR hence the query!

atomicaardvark Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Also, the unconfirmed CCT seems to have his HK416 set-up just like in recent SEAL pictures. IIRC the pic surfaced alongside a load of similar lookin' SEAL pics (plus there's a HH-60 in the background, not 100% convincing I know but...) so there was talk of SEAL or CCT. And to keep things ticking along... my WIP PJ pack (with Foxtrot litter attached): Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Nasty_TheYankWelshOne Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 Ok, so my community is having it's first impression based MilSim game, and I'm going to be playing the part of a CCT, so I'd like to get my impression down. This is currently what I'm planning; DBT FAPC (Coyote Brown) - EI magazine shingle (CB) - EI single magazine pouch (CB) - EI MBITR pouch (CB) - EI Admin pouch (CB) - TT small accessory pouch (CB) EI War belt with suspenders (CB) - EI 1 litre canteen pouch (CB) - EI 200 round SAW pouch (CB) - EI signal pouch (CB) Would this work?

Personally I'd steer clear of uniform CB kit in general and tend towards either MC or MJK/tan/khaki. The FAPC is a good, although unusual base (got any reference pics, as I can't think of any off the top of my head?), and I'd maybe go with either a Paraclete or TT MBITR pouch. My PJ rig, and my team mate's CCT rig for that matter as well, both consist of pouches from different manufacturers i.e. Eagle, BHI, TT, and Paraclete. It stops it looking uniform, and 'issue'. Possibly try and grab one of the new Harris -152 radio shells (the shell features the GPS module, so very accurate for CCT) as well, although -148s are in use as well. An admin panel is a good call, remember that the CCT is there primarily as a force multipler - their job is to provide the ground commander with aerial assets as and when required - so notebook, pen, pencil, compass/GPS and some form of optics are essential! Something to mark the target with as well, i.e. PEQ-15, strobe, IR chemlights or VS-17 etc., is also essential. A pack is also a necessary addition, something that would be big enough to fit a -117 type radio (for reference); a 3-dayer or a large CamelBak for example. Hope that helps. atomicaardvark: what pack is that ? PMK CSAR Ruck - took me a few hours googling back and forth to finally track it down. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PavelPJ Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 What a nice piece of gear that pmk csar ruck! There is any chance to get that pack?? I thought it is something like HPC GACK, it is almost impossible to get that or you have to be f***ing lucky. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It does quite a bit, thanks! And my reference pic for the FAPC is this. I've been told these guys are CCTs, and guy in the back (and possibly in the middle) have been ID'd as wearing FAPCs.

Jolly15 Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 I'm pretty sure they're PJs, due to the harnesses and I recall that picture having a caption about PJs. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nasty_TheYankWelshOne Posted January 17, 2011 Report Share Posted January 17, 2011 Ah, well nevermind then. Would a FAPC still work? I've seen them used in photos that are different from those, but for the life of me I can not find them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
