Nice pic. There sure is a lot of 40mm grenades laying there. If memory serves me, the yellow indicated HE rounds. Is that correct? It has been 35 years since I used an M203.

I remember reading somewhere that one of the afghan special police units adopted it for thier uniforms ironically they admitted it was done more for the reputation it has from Nam vs how affective it works in Astan.

Haha, silly Afghan security forces; real hitters gain street cred. and reputation from being fucking HITTERS. But yeah, that old tiger pattern sticks out like a sore thumb unless they're up inside a pine forest as the light begins to fail.

Will do thanks...he is alot older now 74 YO and still works as hard as ever.

If you look closely at the huey pic you can see they have used 100 mph green tape to tape a cleaning rod onto the XM16E1...these pics were taken in 1966 and 1968 he did two tours in Vietnam. In one pic you can see him recieving a battlefield commission to 2LT from WO1. His commander is administering the oath.
