OK here's my answers to a few questions I have been getting:
1 - No I did not fix my hair for the pics. I spent two weeks in the Field, took one shower, and wore two uniforms throughout. My hair just looks the same no matter what. This sucked in the 90's when my haircut wasn't popluar but I just kept telling myself...... "Hang in there Sean, one day the World will understand." I could never have a cool flat-top like Kid from Kid 'n Play, a shaggy mop like the Jonas' Brothers, or anything even close to Zack Morris from Saved by the Bell, or Parker Lewis can't Lose, but finally found my niche in the "Tactical Casual" look. 2 - links for my rig - Here goes: PIG Plate Carrier CamelBak ArmorBak Hydro Pack Left Side: HSGI Mini EOD Molle Pouch Emdom PM4 (Pmag) Double Eagle MBITR Molle Pouch Chest: ITW Fastmag Esstac Single Wedge Shingle Esstac KyWi Right Side: Emdom AK/M4 Double Mag Pouch This pouch works well for Smoke grenades, and the horrible times you get stuck with two radios, you can Cram an MBITR or EF Johnson in it. BFG Trauma Kit Now Esstac Nalgene Pouch Trust me I wouldn't carry this much if I didn't need to. Not everything was set up this way, you can see my rig evolve throughout the pics. A new rig always takes a break in period and the PIG PC is no different. I mounted things that I thought would work, in places I thought I could reach...... you get the Idea. This layout is the furthest evolution so far. 3 - Yes the Pirate eye patch has kicked Badgering at my unit into High gear. All I have to say is that jealousy is a wasted emotion..... If we all got issued a Pirate Eye patch then it wouldn't be as cool. SOS |

That setup looks pretty spiffy, very nice. By the way, did you have the eye patch because you poked your eye out with that XBOX HUGE radio aerial? |

Actually my eye was perfectly fine. I just thought it looked sweet!!!
Yeah my MBITR antenna, but I prefer to have it on the front so I can change freqs and such without having a buddy change it or taking off my kit. SOS |

I like the layout - will consider buying a PIG PC in ACU, and set it up similarly. That is if BTT i get assigned to a unit, we will still be using ACUs and stuff.
I still have my last ACU set, which i kept, so i will be able to attent my first reserve drill back in full uniform. |

Awesome, that's a darn good review. A couple of the things that they mentioned, I really noticed too, such as the padded straps and comfort, and the fact that the whole rig just feels bombproof. Really tough and durable. |

Sure thing!!
Here's my KIT: PIG Plate Carrier PIG Hydration Carrier (HydroPIG) Source WXP 2L I use the G-hook Double D-ring shoulder attachment on my strong side, and the G-hook side release buckle on my weak side. Right Side: BFG Trauma Kit Now - I moved it closer to my chest when I had to use my left arm to get my medkit during training and had some difficulty. This spot makes it more accessible to both arms. BFG Tourniquet NOW strap Emdom AK/M4 Double Mag Pouch - a great multi use magazine pouch - 2 M4 Mags, a surefire Hi-cap mag, smoke, extra MBITR or BF Johnson radio, etc. TT Canteen Utility Pouch Chest: Esstac Single M4 wedge with KYWI X2 ITW Fastmag X2 Left Side: Either the ATS Double/ Single Shingle or the usual Eagle MBITR pouch depending on my loadout HSGI Mini EOD pouch and another TT Canteen Utility Pouch The HSGI Mini EOD pouch carries my NVG's and various map pens, protractor, ear pro, and a few other odds and ends. One TT canteen utility pouches holds my small cleaning kit, strobe, batteries, oil/ lube, and a cut down VS-17 panel. The other one either holds pogey bait / gee-dunk or an extra Nalgene Bottle. Sometimes I ditch the two TT Canteen pouches depending on what's going on. I have the Grimlok's attached to my chest to hold the sternum strap down on ruck marches to prevent that ultra annoying arm pinch. I also have my rape whistle (it's the only things my guys can hear sometimes over the M2's and M240's) and a small blue LED flashlight (helps check wounds and bleeding). Let me know if I forgot to mention anything - I'll update as needed. SOS |

Looks good. I've got one of these on the way to me.
Two questions: Are you using the ESAPI plates that come with the IOTV? Are you using soft armor behind them? |

Yes, standard ESAPI's fit just fine.
I'm using the PIG soft armor backers, and i have soft armor in the sides. I don't wear side plates because they annoy me. SOS |

I thought you had an Airframe? Or does The Boss not let you wear it?
|
|
|
I didn't drill the airframe for my PSQ-20's. So until I broke the PSQ's I wore my MICH.

Nice!
What's your glove preference? |
|

I also have the Pig PC! Love It! Most comfortable pc ive ever wore!
Ill post my PIG in AFG pic up in about 1 1/2 weeks :) thanks for the pics. looks like nice setup you have. |
|
|
our PIG FDT-A gloves, but I only have the one pair. I hope they last until our next shipment comes in around October. They have been going strong since last fall.
My seconds choice for light gloves is the regular Mechanix gloves. I have heard great things about the OR ironhide gloves but haven't played around with them yet. Looking forward to the pics Leprechaun-33, it'll be great to revive the PIG user thread!!! I love seeing how other people set their gear up. SOS |

The no longer are going with Multicam, that discussion was from a while ago. The US Army is transitioning to Scorpion / Scorpion W2. we are SOL eventually, but for the time being I believe you can wear mixed Scorpion and Multicam OCIE. Your unit commander should be able to authorize certain uniforms.

I still see Multicam gear with ACU uniforms and vice versa here at Bragg. Plus there is always a health measure of coyote brown and ranger green. Scorpion and Multicam look enough alike. |
