That looks like one tricked out 1911
That picture was on the front of the CCT recruitment pamphlet. I think I still have the one I took from the display outside the AF recruiting office at my hometown mall.
I was going to say the same thing. I definitely remember that as a recruiting brochure back in the 90s.
The LBV on the middle of the page far right also came with a pack that integrated with it. I still have the one I was issued, and have it loaded and ready to go.
Little square shaped one with one pocket? Like a shrunk down MOLLE assault pack almost?
Kinda, it had pockets on both sides, and then the inside of the pack was a bit small. I need to take pics of it. I think I still have the leg panel MP5 pouches, but I would have to dig deep to find them.
Always wanted one of those woodland dry suits.
I’d like to see a comparison between then and now.
We might need a bigger beach.
I see what you did there.
The flashbacks….. love the TACAN on the ATV.
Bring back the porn-stash!
Cool guy points for the M4 with 100rd Beta-Mag and the Night Desert Camo Parka.
Early 90s, those are most likely GUU-5Ps of one configuration or another. There wasn’t much of a standard for those guns.
Back when you actually had to work hard to maintain comms. PRC-104, LST5C, PRC-113, KY-99. Those all made for some heavy rucks. All batteries and radios and very little room for snivel gear. I hated airborne ops with that stuff.
Def looks like a pic for a recruiting brochure. In reality you would’ve gotten issued/used maybe a 1/4 of that gear, if you were lucky.
Nope. It’s actually missing a lot of kit and all of it was used then, just like now.
Funny there’s no actual climbing or rappelling gear amongst the pile.
Liking the skinny little Alice belt rig, those were the days.
And a distinct absence of Velcro.
