1990 US Army Light Infantry Patrol Gear: Load Carrying Equipment (LCE)

[@james-im1sj]

Clif bars don't ever want see another one...

[@friendofcoal]

In 83-85, we called the web gear "LBE" - Load Bearing Equipment....

[@Maryland_Kulak]

I think LCE comes from ALICE. All-purpose Lightweight Individual Load Carrying Equipment. I heard it both ways.

My skull hurts, looking at that skull crusher

in 92 while at Benning i got my hands on a M81 LBV at Ranger Rags and used that my entire time. that was so much better than the LBE

[@johnjulson2563]

I preferred th A1 sights. I remember as a young Private hearing stories about Airborne guys breaking the A2 sights when they jump. Not that the Army ever gave me a choice.

Slick trick for stowing a rifle on the mag pouch. Nice!

Of course we all know the canteen is correctly referred to as a wudderbuddle.

More like Wah-ah-bah-ah. No consonants allowed.

Dude Kevlar helmets from the 90’s (most likly a PASGT) ain’t stopping a 7.62x39 😂

[@Maryland_Kulak]

Not true. Ever hear of an island called Grenada?

[@soothingmeow22]

Give the guy a break he's been out for a min. Plus Kpots can defect 762 if you're very lucky it's rare, but dose happen. Without information spreading like how we do now old guy thinks it stops vs defect at best 😅

[@Maryland_Kulak]

At least the PASGT covers the ears and the back of the head unlike those kevlar yarmulkes they’re wearing these days.
