Easy Company Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Rock and roll. Be sure you put the MACV-SOG pocket patch on the left breast pocket. Link to post Share on other sites
Carbine Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 You might want to look into the M1967 mag pouches for your 20rnd. M16 mags. They were made to fit these and were introduced late in the war. They were also available for the long 30rnd. mags and became later known as LC-1. Also, if your depicting an "in-combat" look, then don't wear the patches at all. The MACV-SOG patch was very seldom used, if at all, by people who were in a combat zone. Behind the lines they could be worn, I suppose. Link to post Share on other sites
screamin_weasel Posted January 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 cheers dudes. i know i shouldn't really have the patches on, but they just look mega cool, so im wearing them. as for carrying my mags, im getting a BAR belt to put them in - seems to be an accepted and realistic method, and it saves buying loads of pouches, and a seperate belt. and dont worry, as soon as it gets here i will get some pics. i just need to wear it in and get it looking a bit battered.

The MACV-SOG patch was very seldom used, if at all, by people who were in a combat zone. Behind the lines they could be worn, I suppose. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually, it really depends on which "branch" of SOG you're emulating. Project Delta included missions that were run inside the borders of South Vietnam. I've seen some photos that showed insignia, but most do not. Nobody wore the pocket patch during missions, or even off the compound. The pocket patch was deemed unofficial, but they pretty much did what they wanted. Project Omega included both in-country missions (called Locals) as well as missions across the fence into Laos and Cambodia. The Ground Studies Groups, OPS-35 was strictly missions across the fence, but included Locals from time to time. But no, insignia was usually not worn, but they do look cool.

Jimisin73 Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Nice Weas... Now just don't put those patches in the wrong spots or upsidown, ya hear?!? I'm digging the CARs, and you've got me jonesing for my new AK (is in town but my buddy who owns the shop was not back from vacation to pick it up at the post office...bummer). I've also got the same tigers...got them in may and used them almost every scrim this summer...they seem to hold up well, and I'm tough on gear. Cheers, Link to post Share on other sites
Easy Company Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 Nice Weas... Now just don't put those patches in the wrong spots or upsidown, ya hear?!? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Yeah, make damn sure that the Airborne tab goes on the left sleeve right below the shoulder seam; then add the SF sheild with the tip pointed upwards (check my avatar). MACV-SOG pocket patch goes on the left breast pocket and your name tape goes above the right pocket. Looks good buddy. Link to post Share on other sites
