Wow, nice pics goldie. Good job!!! It's very interesting.

My first impression to last few pics is WOW!!! no one's wearing brain bucket in the range. I can just imagine my Sgt Maj chasing me around the range screaming his lungs out "Where'da f*& is your helmet soldier!!!"

Pics in the winter remind me of my days in Fort Drum. brrrrrr!!! Ah, those were the days. :) Counting days till ETS.

The blue berets is used by soldiers in the Norwegian Army / 6th Division.

Edit:

You beat me to it.

But there is also another exeption. The 2nd Batalion wear a sand-colored beret.

Thanks fellas for the info :)

I don't mean to drag this ot - I'm sure Goldie will bring it back on topic - but that guy with the beard walking past the command APC, is that the sandy coloured beret of 2 Bn you were talking about?

Sorry for the dumb questions - I'm just interested ;)

Its not the sand colored version they use abroad its the standard
issue for all other army element (olive green), its probably just worn out it tends to get lighter then, especaly if you trimmed it for better fit.

Yeah i know but havent heard any official remarks about that but i think thats primarely for ops outside Norway. When i was rotating tours in Kosovo in 2003 there were some from 6divison with the sand version but if i could remember it was the guys from the ISTAR battalion who had the sand version not the others from 6 division

I wonder where the pic went that was shot 5 secs after this one...

It reminds of an accident whe had in Iraq on the shooting range. During mortar shooting a camel got torn apart by shrapnel. Since it didn't die on the spot, the FO had to shoot it with his Glock.

Btw Marsuitor, with those pics you definitively can start your own thread.

2nd Bat. used to wear the 6 Div. blue beret until 2004. After 2nd Bat. was transformed from light infantry to mechanized infantry they wore the black cavalery beret for a while. But in 2005(?) they got the kahki beret. The kakhi beret is to day used by soldiers serving their mandatory service in 2nd bat. in Norway, aswell as the RC-N/ QRF in Mazar-e-Sharif Afghanistan.

BTW. Did you start or finish your tour in Kosovo in 2003? I started mine there in 2003 with the 2nd Bat. (Norwegian Task Force) And I can't remeber seeing any of those ISTAR guys wearing kahki beret.

USMC Force Recon used to train on winter warfare in Norway with the Recce sqdr of Brig N during the 1980's. Though wether these folks are Force Recon or even USMC for that matter I wouldn't guarnatee.
As for the Mickey mouse boots, I've always heard bad things about them. Yet as they are still in service they must be good for something I guess :roll:.

There are a few private companys that make OD\Nor wood- and desert camo pouches for the vest comercially marketed for soldiers.
