[k44] Obi Wahn Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 The impression is meant to roughly match 16 AA Bde Pathfinder Platoon 2006/2007. I've already got an UBACS in DDPM for going "yellow", maybe I get one in "green" too sometimes, but it's not top priority. The PC's are indeed Warrior - RICAS Compact.

buzzsaw Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 Nice effort Obi Wahn. Â I finally have an Ares L85A2 w/SUSAT to my name...expect complete loadout photos soon - further 2BN Royal Anglian action. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

[k44] Obi Wahn Posted August 17, 2009 Report Share Posted August 17, 2009 The one starting with some MOUT/FIBUA-Training impressions? Regarding this one it's a "yarp". Quote Link to post Share on other sites

darkchild130 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) Here's another one for Parsley. Reference your PM, he's the one in the green dpm trousers. Â Â and the dude in the background wearing full green dpm is "crazy Irv" Irvine. He is one of our snipers and is the most mellow person you will ever talk to. Confirmed kills way into the double figures. Â Darkchild Edited August 18, 2009 by darkchild130 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jim01 Posted August 18, 2009 Report Share Posted August 18, 2009 Darkchild, iv read somwhere you claim not to be special forces but all of your pics look so...special forces esque Could you tell me what unit you are in? im just curios you see lol, regual soldiers dont get to buy thier own kit do they, vest's mag pouches ect? Â If you dont want to post the type of unit on the forum could you PM me? And if niether then i understand. Â Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-Angel- Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 See the last page: 4 Rifles. Previously 2 RGJ (Royal Greenjackets) Darkchild  and as you can see from the pictures, private purchase is commonplace.  (p.s. some more great pictures darkchild) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkchild130 Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 As Angel Stated im in 4 Rifles. SOPs on purchasing kit varies from unit to unit, but we were Greenjackets so we pretty much do what we want Incidentally, the infantry role has become more special forces "esque" in recent years as UKSF have released a lot of their burden onto us in the form of Strike ops (direct action if your a Yank). So we undergo a lot of specialist training. Â Im not special forces, i always try to make that very clear, but i have done a tour as SOF (a US term, we just say we're attached to SF) and have been trained in a number of techniques that would be classed SF. Â But im not a member of UKSF, and probably never will be. Thanks for the comments, im sure "ninja 9" would appreciate them! Â Darkchild Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Posted August 19, 2009 Report Share Posted August 19, 2009 My Osprey (Excuse the fact the camel back has no bladder in it i gutted it and put it in my CIRAS ready for the GZweekender because the bladder in the CIRAS is aload of wank) Â Grim Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Robbo1989 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Quick pics of me in my finished DigiDPM kit.   In the centre   In the centre, taking all the hits for everyone else   The one with the messy Shemagh   Everything I was using the day fell to pieces   Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boomheadshot (infidel) Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Everything I was using the day fell to pieces     Let me guess the vest is viper or webtex??   your a "moar gunz less kit" guy  On a side note i dont see the point of digi dpm cause its not realy digi is dpm pattern with digi edges unlike cadpat etcwhich is purly digi patterns and it looks weird to me but thats just me i guess.

Robbo1989 Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 I just like it. Â Most of my kit is viper and it was all ok apart from the holster which I tried to put my Desert Eagle in, needless to say it eventually gave way. all the rest of my kit was ok apart from the shirt which shrank in the wash. Ah well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
boomheadshot (infidel) Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 What make is the shirt i havent seen any mil-spec digi DPM ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grim Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 im with you boomheadshot, i just cant see the point in digi dpm i personally find it vile to look at. i will stick with good ole proper DPM. Â Grim Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scuffer Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Chap, are you using the goggles that came with the Skyes mask? If you are don't they are not BB proof to any degree. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
