great post everyone
good to see we now have our own photo thread here.

is one of them slipped off the boat? from the 1st pic shows that he is not comfortable enough with so many personals on that small boat. and the camou is almost the same with the old us green beret camou... isn't it?Originally Posted by sabaya597
Philippine Navy NSWG/SWAGs during the Carat 09 exercises
i think 2 guys fell
the other one i believed he jumped to the sea cause you can see that... flippers he wearing there. but the other one he look struggled to get back inside the boat.
Yes youre right. The camo is based on the one several elite units (eg. SASR, NZSAS, MACV-SOG,etc) used in Vietnam. To be more exact it is called the Tigerstripe. The one seen in the pix are the Philippine ones, exclusive to Navy SWAGs troopers
even though the SWAG tigerstripe was patterned with the Vietman era camo pattern, there's a slight difference in terms of color combination, the Phil. Coast Guard also have their own tigerstripe pattern camo but a different color scheme, more on orange variations.

you're right, even though we lack modern sophisticated weapons, our guys are doing their best to fight those who are on the other side of the fence. Our soldiers are in fact giving the ultimate sacrifice just to keep the enemies of the state at bay. A soldier who was KIA made this ....."you pay us with your taxes, and we repay it with our lives"..... RIP to him.
nonsense -don't think of it outdated I always thought of the M16/M14/1911/M60 as "classic"
Then the Armed Forces of the Philippines is a coniseur of "classic" military hardware. From vessels that actually saw action in WW2, to Vietnam Era UH1N's.
m16's are still being used by modern military. What they need are new strategies, good benefits for the family to encourage more people to join the Philippine military. Anyway, keep the pics coming!
Pardon me? new strategy? I believe the US is applying the strategy they learned from the AFP to the GWOT. Benefits to the soldiers could always be better, but they are actually decently paid.
agree on the pics coming.
well,yes. New strategies,in terms of attacking the NPA and extremist in the southern region, just watch the videos posted you'll know what Im talking about. What we are doing in Balikatan exercises are sharing of strategies and ideas,teaming up as one against GWOT. Learning is both ways.
Philippine Marine Force Recon:
but still it would be nice to have decent weapons and instead of a Constituent-Assembly (con-ass), we should require the next president of the Philippines to contribute one of his son to the line infantry.
