ACU, a funny pic

As long as these guys stay in the gravel road, they'll be okay!

Notice though the guy in the grass is hedging his bets: i.e. the Woodland pack (which blends in just fine...)

[Heazy]

har har har........... :cantbeli:

[McLovin]

fail?.......

[curlyboy]

How long before someone posts the pic of the guy on the sofa!!!!!

But ACU is good in a woodland (that has been concreted over).

curlyboy

[PaulClift]

This guys camo is so good, he cant even see himself!

[wild_wild_wes]

but he's wearing a blaze orange tee shirt for safety

[miguelencanarias]

I thought the same as Curlyboy: how long until the sofa pic shows up? It is becoming the new Royal Mud Marines.

As for ACU, I bet somebody will argue some nonsense about how well it works and how NATIC knows better than our own eyes and common sense.

And ACU does indeed work well. For the enemy, that is.

That's what happens when you let Ali G design your combat cloting.

[bvvelzen]

It looks like the guy in the front has no facial hair. Is he that young?

[wild_wild_wes]

Check out the mis-matched upper and lower recievers on the M4 of the guy behind babycheeks

and the loopy 1-3X scope

[Archangel3285]

I still use my old kit rig on the new ACU's, some woodland and some OD. Pisses off some of the non deployers or non BTDT. Not like they can see us if we are wearing all digicamo anyway.

Uh, so?

Not all rifles in the world need receivers that match in colour to take pretty pictures of for you.

Have you heard of a razor? Those of us who serve in professional militaries shave regularly.

The armory will give you a fully functioning and serviceable weapon. Only a pussyfart would care about the finish not matching on his upper/lower recievers.

I find the constant nagging about how bad the UCP pattern is more annoying than it's own ineffectively tbh.

[MoFo]

This thread is not complete without the man in ACU on the sofa.


It will be funny.

[wild_wild_wes]

Nope. I've never even touched an Airsoft.

not that ther's anything wrong with that...

Here's me latest non-airsoft:

No need to get pissy.

When I was in the Marines, I never saw a mis-matched reciever set...those rifles had come from the factory, and stayed intact their whole careers.

That could very well be his own personal upper.

Hardly a boot...

I'd love to hear about your military/combat experience.

[szr]

Edit: I was about to say... Calling someone who has already earned the title, a recruit--because that what you just called Tanker--is a good indicator that you're someone who probably shouldn't be trying to talk the jargon when you're not even sure what you're saying...

Duhh, I meant he has no beard or mustache growing. And his face doesn't really looks like he shaved that morning, even 5 minutes ago, Ever.

And don't act like am an idiot.

[USMC Tanker]

Only an idiot would draw a conclusion like that about a man from ONE picture, on the internet, of a man he's never seen nor met.

How many other mustaches/beards do you see in that picture?

[bvvelzen]

Maybe the guy behid him? He has a slight shadow. And common, look at the guy, even if you shave your face can hardly be that "baby face" like

[USMC Tanker]

I'm sorry, I just find the comment incredibly pointless.

He is obviously of age to serve in the US Army. I was 17 when I joined the Marine Corps.

[bvvelzen]

I was just wondering... thats all. no offense intended

[wild_wild_wes]

In the Corps, a fellow Marine with one month less time in service then you is called a "boot"....even if you have 12 years service, and the "boot" was just one Series behind you in basic. He is forever a "boot" to you, you see.

It's kind of a humor thing, one-upsmanship, and not serious.

[PaulClift]

How someone looks is no good indicator of age, I was getting asked for id still when I was 27, the drinking laws 18.

[Blackburn]

yup, Pyle is right. Just last weekend some douchbag made fun of me, cuz I joined the Army. Signed up with 17 and now ive some few days left to basic.

[silveykyle]

Doesn't effing matter what rifle you have. You must have been a pogue. Since they were the only ones I knew that had clean rifles.

So what unit?

[wild_wild_wes]

So this is what has become of my beloved Corps? A bunch of buddy-f*cks?

First you bitch out the foreign kid for an innocent comment, then you question the worthiness of your brothers-in-arms.

You make me sad.

Simple question. If you never served just fessed up. No need to take this any further. Or just shoot me a PM of your unit. Honestly, I never heard of someone who served bitch about mis-match color rifle. Just calling you out, Devil Dog?

Yep you are all efinn boots, Real Marines had serial Numbers not social security numbers.

OK no that we have done with the formalities of the pissing order. Who are you?

BTW I served with Captain Krulick in RVN in 1968, along with a Lt North who was in Kilo Company. I am on the Lima Company 3/3 roster too.

A Marine is a Marine whether it was at Tun Tavern or graduating today............. He is a Marine. A boot is anyone who stood on those yellow foot prints after you.

[USMC Tanker]

Is that a poser I smell?

[LaoSexMachine]

He sure did log out quick!!!!!

I served under Krulack,(When he was Commandant of course, salty dog) Hollis. Yut Yut!!

[Hollis]

LOL, it is all realitive for me salty dogs or old Corps Marines wore HB and had cordavan Brown shoes/boots.

Maybe he is researching units.

BTW, I knew a Guy who served when The First Gen. Krulack was CMC. (late 50's??)

Sure you where not issued? Do you have a date stamp on your butt?

I had a Gunny who had 9 confirms with a e-tool in Korea. I was living (a youngster) in subic bay at the time of that conflict. Marines never die, we are just re-grouping in hell for the final judgement as we drag that SOB to be judged.

Do you mind revealing his name?

[Hollis]

Do you mind revealing his name?


He was my gunny at School Battalion for Ontos. I need to try to remember his name. This was in early 1969.

I don't remember my Gunny name in RVN, he nailed a bunch of NVA with a 1911 on Dong Ha mountain. These are guys who made the Marine Corps and what we all wanted to obtain as Marines.

Give me a little time, I am thinking Gunny Dover (Not sure of the name or A/O)

Well, Laos was not overrun with GIs like Nam. Still hard to find half Lao/Americans to this day but I run into Viet/Americans alot here in Houston.

It's not a pack, it's a Sked® Stretcher (http://www.skedco.com/detail.aspx?categoryID=2&subID=29&sku=SK-200). It will take years for everything in the Army to be ACU. I don't know if the SKED is even available in ACU.

So the SAW gunner looks young? He's still a man, and a Soldier. I have a lot of respect for that gentleman, and all in that picture.

[wild_wild_wes]

Okay, I'm back from dinner.

I was in the Marines from 21 June 1983 to 21 June 1987 (not everyone on teh interwebs is a teenager)

Boot: MCRD San Diego plt. 3066

MOS 6821

Cherry Point, NC, HQ&HQ Sqdn, II MAW.

I did not "bitch" about the mis-matched recievers, just pointed it out. Please go back and re-read my actual words, and do not confabulate my intent; just read the words.

When I was in, 99.99% of our rifles were M-16A1s (there were one or two CARs floating around in Force Recon), each and every one of them identical. I never saw such a two-tone weapon.

MAW, ok that explains it (really wonders what that means)

Maybe back up and regroup for a second. Most Marines on board here all know each others. Secondly there are always posers...

I was 0353/0311, welcome to the forum BOOT.....


Ok do you feel loved now, or do I have to put a mint on your pillow and sing the Barney song?

[wild_wild_wes]

My Commandant was P. X. Kelly

He introduced the vee-neck tee shirt; because of him I had to cut a wedge shape into my chest hair.

[wild_wild_wes]

Ok do you feel loved now,

No.

MAW = Marine Air Wing

[Hollis]

Hollis, love those stories man. Thanks.


I do too. I know a Major, who Mustanged at Tarawa. Another Marine who was at the Canal. They are all getting less these day. It is always a pleasure to here their stories. There are a bunch of the Frozen Chosin Marines out here too. Nov 11th Albany, Or. Veterans Parade brings them out.

[Hollis]

No.

MAW = Marine Air Wing


Mythical Air Wing, for a Grunt I know what MAW is, Always thought they were another service, Navy or something (J/K). Some of the best pilots in the world too.

Funny we were talking this, we= me and a retired Sgt Major who was also in force recon. When he was no longer in Recon, his regular 03 platoon took a recon Platoon in practice. He sort of chuckles about Recon. Says he did more as a Grunt than he ever did in Recon.

Seals, Well I always wonder, who do they balance that ball on their noses.

SF, What ever happened to the propellors on top of their beanies.


BTW, I am going on a long trip Be Back after all of this blows over.

The ACU's are a good uniform gone bad. It's got a lot of good features, but you can tell that some knobheaded REMF COL kept throwing his stupid ideas in there. Get rid of the velcro, change the pattern, and make them CHEAPER. That's the single stupidest thing about them. They were supposed to "save the soldiers money" but they cost twice as much and wear out twice as fast. I'm with Chen, give me a ACU style uniform in Multicam, or something that actually a little more "universal".
