Thank you for showing the historic collection of Marine uniforms. My dad was a career Marine NCO and I recall so many of the illustrated uniforms, parts and weapons. I remember my dad taking me into the barracks to clean a weapon or prepare for a junk on the bunk, etc. Then, my brother and I did similar in the late '60s and RVN. Thanks for the video. Semper Fi

[@Brent0331]

Appreciate it brother.

[@mikhailbolodo1597]

My grandfather was a soldier from the 1930s to just after the Korean war, We're Filipino and since the Phil has been more or less under the US, his uniforms looks similar to these (Except ofcourse them being a bit smaller, we are generally smaller) and I even have his WWII helmet well preserved, it's amazing how the normal uniform evolved from something like a formal coat to a more comfortable and forward thinking uniform with easy to reach pouches and sachels

[@deancarr4507]

Cool to see you include the flight suit, my first plt sgt talked about wearing those during Phantom Fury when their utilities got too worn out and destroyed

You know a Chauchat is a rare thing when you see it mentioned in the pinned comment, that's for sure! Awesome and interesting video, you can really see how things changed with the times. The first uniform showcased is really about style and it's great, it looks awesome, but helmets had to be introduced and so on with all the uniforms. And the music sure hits home too.

[@Brent0331]

Yup very fortunate to be able to borrow it from the owner of Recon Vintage Militaria.

[@VosperCDN]

The intensity of the opening stare is enough to win a war by itself. (Also, yay for Chauchat!)

[@Brent0331]

Everything happens for a reason! I bought a demil Madsen light machine gun from the owner of Recon Vintage Militaria. We got to talking about WW1 and he mentioned to me that he had a demil Chauchat. I've been working on this video for at least three years now in one capacity or another. I immediatly thought of getting it into this as soon as he said it. I was very grateful that the gentlemen was kind enough to let me borrow it for this video. I'm hoping to do a colab with him for a WW1 video in the near future. Keep your fingers crossed! He has a lot more cool stuff then just that Chauchat, that's just scratching the surface!

[@VosperCDN]

@@Brent0331 Looking forward to that colab video. It's cool to see the earlier weapons, not just the latest and greatest. (What I know of the Chauchat and Madsen mostly comes from Ian of Forgotten Weapons and his work with C&Rsenal on Project Lightning.)

Hey Brent, when did marines start applying the EGA to the pasgt covers. Ive seen photos with and without, was it done at the unit level?

@@themischeifguide it was something we did up to the point that NVG plates started to get permanently attached to kevlars. As well as when MARPAT started coming into the picture. Before that we had to iron on our EGA on our blouse, boonie, and helmet cover.

[@themischeifguide]

@Brent0331 Thanks for replying so quickly the earliest I've seen photos was 1992 in Somalia, but after that it seems to be common. I wasn't sure if it was universal in those days. I'm putting together a late 1980's set in woodland.

[@KillrMillr7]

Man, I wore 3 of those uniforms during my tenure. Incidentally, Marines first wore the Chocolate chip desert pattern briefly in 1985 during operation BrightStar. I still got that boony somewhere. Those Kevlar flakjackets sucked, but not as bad as the Vietnam era ceramic ones.

[@joenuts5167]

Petition! Brent please do a camouflage effectiveness video on the G.I joe movie woodland camo pattern. It seems pretty effective

[@randycheow4268]

What I’m curious about the Vietnam era uniforms especially during Hue City is do marines wore suspenders or just their belt with their gear on it since they are wearing flak jackets and from the looks of it, they seemed to hinder the pouches due to its length

[@Brent0331]

I think the majority wore suspenders underneath the flak. Load bearing equipment on just the belt weigh down quite a bit. Although things like canteens and bayonets could be hung directly off of the M1910 wire hangers at the bottom of the flak, the ammunition pouches of the time, could not be.
