Comments from a former recon marine I graduated from Paris island in 1965 After that, I went to infantry training regiment at camp geiger in North Carolina for basic combat training, advanced combat training, and special weapons training. Then I went on to a recon battalion Here is a description of the gear from that time first of all, the soft hat was called a cover. You guys called it a eight pointer I never heard that term. The helmet came with the liner and a chin strap, the cover came later the T-shirt was white green t shirts came later after they discovered the white t-shirts were easy to see in the dark. All canteens were metal the plastic canteens came later I only had an M14. Never saw an M16 until much later in my enlistment. All we saw in it was it is 22 no power The pack was both a knapsack and a haversack no suspenders we carried a shelter half like you mentioned a poncho and several Bandoliers We also carry a rubber sleeping pad which was called a rubber lady and a very thin sleeping bag it would be interesting to see if you could get your hands on clay more bandiliers or bandoliers for an m-79 I carried one often along with a 1911 I hope this helps. My voice recorder wasn't working well so it is mixed up

[@boondocker7964]

You carried a rubber Lady into the field?

Gungy!

We did not use pack boards for ordinary packs, only used when we had PRC 10's, when we went to the PRC 25's, they came with a different pack design, I don't remember the 60 MM, ammo humpers using them, so, you've got this thing wrong. We didn't wear T-shirts, or skivvies.

[@TROCHOMOCHO27]

Excellent exquisite sellection of the video soundtrack, nice kit too

[@vietnamreenactor]

By far my favorite impression of yours

[@pulido6974]

My pops was there in 1965. He volunteered he had an agricultural deferment. But he wanted his service country. He felt it was his place as the eldest brother.

[@barnabusembercrotchby9887]

Your editing has been a lot better recently!

[@Airborneboy506]

Really dig the early war marine setup. I’ve been building an Operation Starlite impression for years. Maybe one day I’ll post it lol

[@HaulParrell]

Id love to see it.

[@retroandvintagemilitaria1153]

oh wow you still collect, awesome, those ww2 paper items u used to make are so cool

[@manuelserrano1428]

Esta bien chida tu coleccion saludos desde mexico 👍👍👍🤠🤠🤠

[@FSBSpook]

Awesome impression one thing I would love to see is a 1969 1st air Calvary impression that would be awesome

[@gousmc1983]

Marines, we go harder to do the same jobs, with 1/5th the manpower, 1/3 the logistics and duece gear that our fathers ran before us....

[@dmatt817]

Hey Pepsi I just started posting war impressions. You were one of my biggest inspirations to start posting so thanks man. Also this video is great

[@brendanlloyd2799]

Also great video I’ve been waiting for an early war marine impression

[@b.messina4175]

I am pretty sure that they are called Cocoran Jump boots.

Hey man, absolutely killer. I myself am working on a later war (69-70) US Army kit. Also, if you like Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood, check out Chris Sedgwick and Ozzy Osborne's version.

[@boondocker7964]

Your "jungle sling", should have a blanket roll strap in the slot between the barrel and gas plug, then have the sling carry the rifle in a horizontal position with the barrel pointed straight ahead.

[@planes124]

Great video as always bro I'm Just re-watching all your Vietnam Impression Videos, They're great and pretty much spot on, keep up the videos man. ❤

[@retroandvintagemilitaria1153]

youve inspired me to put together a late vietnam gear setup. Also, what do you think of the we tech m14?

[@vietnamreenactor]

Gey a evike veteran m14 there the best budget m14 for 400$ or so

[@rlip67x36]

We tech m14 looks good if u want a cheap impression I recommend a well m16 its a springer for abt 40 dollars

[@vietnamreenactor]

@@rlip67x36 no I'm talking about there gas blowback one

[@gousmc1983]

Personally I'm more a fan of the real deal, granted it's semi, but... Still does her job

[@ThatReenactor1]

The boots are the Macnamara Boots named after the Secretary of Defense I think

[@ssww3]

I always find the early war kits to be interesting

[@chickensoup69]

The current issue hygiene bag is the same shape and size as the VN one, its just in coyote brown and a different material. Most people, myself included, stowe it in our pack when we go to the field.

[@outdoorvideoswithbrad]

You don’t see early impressions to much, I only got late war, cool video

[@vietnamreenactor]

I do mid war-late 68 and up

[@outdoorvideoswithbrad]

@@vietnamreenactor that’s cool I’ll have to check it out then, I got US and Vietcong, my US stuff is legit but I think I do better at Vietcong, I’m not reenactor I just do it for fun

[@allenweisler2nd237]

What is the name of the song

[@TRENCHBUILDER22]

is my vietnam impression good?

[@outdoorvideoswithbrad]

I looked at your one video you got a lot of videos, that’s cool, and I’m no expert but it doesn’t look to bad you got the shirt, suspenders, helmet, and you can use the m60 pouches to hold any ammo really and the canteen pouch can hold ammo too, all you need is the belt a butt pack and ya the universal pouches, I can get them for 5 $ at my military surplus store, right now you could pass for a resupply guy/ ammo guy, I just made some Vietnam videos but mines more late war, I mostly do shooting videos

[@TRENCHBUILDER22]

Oh ok, Thanks! ill check your vids out!

Question is there a certain pistol belt you need for those ammo pouches

[@AVPalmerERY]

Yes, the M61 Pistol Belt. They're getting kind of rare but theres a video on youtube on how to make one with an M36 Pistol Belt.
