Gadge Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Its probably an RGJ 'ally' thing. Its liek a lot of infanteers moved the beret round so the badge was more to the side of the head than the fornt, as much as yu could get away wiht wihtut getting ######ed (it was french sort of style) It'll just be a gucci fashion thing, i thin paras do it a bit too...

darkchild130 Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 (edited) *fruitcage* no, they are SASC chimps trying to dress up like infantry, combat indicator being the terrible cam cream. We dress up much better! Darkchild Edited May 5, 2007 by darkchild130 Link to post Share on other sites
Gadge Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 I didi wonder about the cam, the mk19 gunners is appaling? Sorry i couldnt make out the badge and thught they were a rifles reg. Link to post Share on other sites
stubbornbugger Posted May 5, 2007 Report Share Posted May 5, 2007 Isn't wearing the cap badge more to the left a para thing? Link to post Share on other sites
Cyber Soldier Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 They don'd even seem to be wearing the same beret. the guy on the mk.19 is wearing an AGC Beret and the other two look like RGJ berets that are a little faded. That is most definately not an RGJ cap badge though. No maltese cross FFS! Link to post Share on other sites
amateurstuntman Posted May 6, 2007 Report Share Posted May 6, 2007 Paras and 9 Sqn and 59 Sqn Engineers defo wear the beret sideways Plus a lot of our EOD guys do it too. They are special. Link to post Share on other sites

Bill Hearst Posted May 7, 2007 Report Share Posted May 7, 2007 (edited) Actualy are they RGJ? I cant quite make out the capbadge. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Afaik the pics was on the mod site in an article titled "Royal Marines getting the MK19 Grenadethrower" (or something like that)... and the guy on the top id definetley waering a Royal Marines Commando Beret... the codrivers beret could be some Navy stuff as the RMCs are attached to the RN?! I think the driver has also a RMC Beret on - the colours look quite the same! The co-driver has definetly another Beretcolour and Badge. But i only think that, so don't pin me down on that!

DazJW Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Waiting on the A2 version of the chinese L85. And yes, my webbing's a mess. Link to post Share on other sites
stubbornbugger Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Tie the trouser bottoms up, and just tighten the back and side webbing straps. Also the bush hat cord is meant to go around the back of your head not under your neck. If you get your hat taken off by a branch prepare to be choked. Link to post Share on other sites
ColDaz Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 What kind of webbing is that anyway? It doesn't look like normal PLCE. And what's that big pouch round the back? Link to post Share on other sites
stubbornbugger Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Thats 90 pattern PLCE I believe, same as what i have, and the large pouch is an old respirator case, dunno the pattern though. Link to post Share on other sites
DazJW Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 It's a mismatch of old British webbing, and the pouch is a ressie pouch. Wasn't aware of that about the hats, what's the purpose of the cord then if it's not meant to be keeping it on my head? Link to post Share on other sites
stubbornbugger Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 You can either tie up the flappy bits on the sides or wear the cord around the back of your head to secure the hat. Link to post Share on other sites
ColDaz Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 Surely having it round the back of the head will not hold it on though? Link to post Share on other sites
stubbornbugger Posted May 8, 2007 Report Share Posted May 8, 2007 It holds it on fine. Link to post Share on other sites
