USNDOC Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 How're these? Gear selection among marines is largely preferencial. Some guys will spend their own money and buy their own pouches to replace worn-out, woodland camo issued pouches (like I did) and some guys used nothing but their woodland camo pouches from the first days of MOLLE. These are obviously about a year old, because I didn't have the new flaks with the side SAPI's standard, we rolled with our two E-SAPI's and were happy. There really is no right or wrong impression when doing a marine, as no marine will look exactly like his buddies. Link to post Share on other sites

Cyber Soldier Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 love the pirate eye patch <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He probably can't close his left eye independently of his right so he uses the patch when aiming. Link to post Share on other sites
USNDOC Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Actually, we deployed as a MEU and did some anti-pirate ops, and had a run-in with some Somali pirates, so my friend sent me a bunch of eye patches as a joke. She also sent us a few plastic cutlasses and we'd occasionally run around town waving them around and generally freaking everyone out. Link to post Share on other sites

USNDOC Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 Actually, I'm pretty sure that's a real steel SASR, and costs at least twice that. Those are real marines. Probably a STA platoon. Link to post Share on other sites
medic23 Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 ehhh yeah that is real steel, notice the M1114 up armored in the background there? kinda a dead giveaway since civillians generally never can get their mitts on one *edit* now the pic isnt linking right....

Blazer Posted August 12, 2007 Report Share Posted August 12, 2007 Nice links. This thread seems to me to be summed up by the old adage... No unit that passes inspection is ever combat ready. Any unit that is combat ready will fail to pass inspection. Impressions of any soldier will fall into either, it's regulation, or it's based on pictures. Either way regulations change, and time passes and what is happening now is different to what happened then. So even when you've based your impression it's only correct for the time it was based. This really gets to some people who can't handle ambiguity and who then want to criticise. YMMV Link to post Share on other sites

KWP Posted August 13, 2007 Report Share Posted August 13, 2007 I had to buy 3 pairs of the Belleville USMC ICB boots before I finally got one that was okey. The boots were basically alright, but the leather parts of at least one of the pairs was always inconsistent in colour and texture. Having also seen these boots on other Airsofters and in shops it seems this problem is very common. Do you think the models that are available to civilians are just rejected goods? I mean those boots are quite expensive and even cheap leather shoes from never-heard companies manage to keep the leather consistent. Link to post Share on other sites
