I liked his video!!
Go 2/505 (2 Panther)
"...Or the new MRE's"... Jeebus.
"New" MREs.....I'm old.
square away that head gear.
I do reenacting for operation "just cause" i use 3 mag pouches radio 3 canteens and a pistol
In 1987 to 1998, with 1 Year and 4 Months in the Army National Guard ( Army National Guard) and US Army Reserve ( USAR) , I Myself wore the ALICE ( All purpose, Lightweight, Individual Carrying Equipment) 782 " Deuce " Gear / TA-50 ,and, the Woodland M81 BDU Cammies on Active Federal Military Service ( AFMS) with Both the Marine Corps and Army. At 55 Years Old in 2024 , I Myself STILL own and use ALICE and MOLLE Gear .
Can’t believe I destroyed mine threw them away not researching it.
En 1980 esperabamos el asalto aereo de la 82 division
L8nd9 equipamiento
Fake 🖕
Interesting how the more things change, the more they stay the same. Such as securing the foilage band with 550 cord. I still taught that with my soldiers as a squad leader in 2018-2021. Its the cheapest and most effective method for doing so.
You forgot the canteen cups and that belt buckle is a pice of crap the fast stack buckle is the better one and the canteen cup with the fold under handle is a better canteen cup not the batwing
I was 2/325 AIR in mid/late 90s, we wore identical
Love how the baret covers the whole right eye. Very stylish for the 1980's.
Worn the same way today for the most part.
It amuses me when the folk , where I live discuss me, by calling me Alice. So my veterans brain takes me right back to my training. Lol. Reply if you know What Alice in the armed forces stands for.
no more videos on the 82nd?
Хорошее видео. Наши железнодорожные войска тоже знают расстояние до синей площади Белого Дома))
The dark brown MRE is a blast from the past. Mid 1980s.
This guy sounds like Garrand Thumb
Hey brother, if posable can you do a medium Alice pack, cover?
Buncha sissies
My dad was in the 82nd airborn
I've run ALL my helmet bands as such...ever since I was thought as a new Private in the 82nd Airborne Division in 2005 :D. Everything (and everybody else) looked like junk after that
even in the 80s, cotton/wool was out. parka...
My most cozy setup was the jacket AND pants liner with a wooly pully over my skivvy shirt and then my utilities over that. The gloves and liners were surprisingly comfortable. I never wore the long underwear unless it was well below freezing.
What else could the ammo pouches be used for?
And as a smart paratrooper, one always had two of everything, one for using and one for turning back in to CIF upon PCS and ETS. Also the CIF issue kit was for the inevitable inspection that was always right around the corner.
Forgot how great these videos are.
I can tell it's 82nd without the title because his beret is ass
even in the 80's the Video Quality was better^^
And I thought the gortex jacket made too much noise
To much Bounce and bounce hurts, I had a Alice clip stick in my side wonder why I was bleeding. Only had canteens and mag pouches on my belt and they were on my sides not front or back
Så jä*la bra! Ni är grymma!
Best cold wx gear was the NBC smock and pants esp during the Ice storms we would get at Bragg
Well this was awfully useful and illustrative.
Do you know where I might be able to find one of those parachutists pads?
I see a lot of pics of the 82nd AB (505th and 325th) in Desert Storm and their bandage pouches are on the right side, not the left side like you show. Can you explain this? Working on a 325th AIR impression for Desert Storm.
It’s dumb to wear it on the right side. Interferes with shouldering your rifle. We had to wear them on the left when I was in 3ID, unless you were left handed.
@@Jason-iz6ob On the right side of the belt, not the suspenders. Look at his setup closer.
Why are they reviewing Rotc gear
Good luck with the march to Moscow Lol. Thing is that didn't go down well for the French or Na*is. Fact is, the Russians never were going to come and wont now so why be TOLD to hate people who you have never met? Yembo.
This guy is an 82nd AB reenactor (and veteran) and it's a reference to a sign that was put up at Fort Bragg during the Cold War. He's not saying to hate anyone, he's just going along with the 1980s/cold war era theme.
Excellent video. Thanks a lot. You should have done that in 4:3 instead of 16:9. :-)
That wet weather parka looks like garbage,glad they went to goretex and ponchos.
I mean, these were issued alongside the gortex I’m pretty sure
These videos are great! I was in 1-505 from 89 to 94 and God forbid some NCO caught you in a field jacket. Just like SSG Palladino said “they are for pogues.”
In West Germany in the early-mid 80's, a lot of GI's had either a wool blanket or poncho liner sewn into the rain jacket. They were referred to a Hawk or Graf Jackets. You could either wear them over your BDU's or Field Jacket minus the jacket liner.
It was stupid for the military to drop the Alice gear and go with the mole gear Alice is a lot better than the mole
@The guerillas' Hide yes I am a vet
@The guerillas' Hide I was in from 1978 to1981 I only put 3 years in because I got tired of the racist BS I got out just as they were introducing camouflage uniforms and it was woodland camouflage I wish I had stayed in but like I said I got tired of the racist BS I wasn't going to stay in and have to put up with that crap.God Bless
@The guerillas' Hide I'm a white male and both witnessed and discriminated against the reason why the real reason why I left was I was up for E4 I was third on the list to be promoted they took my name off the list put a black guy on the list that just got his E3 and promoted him before never even decided to promote me I told him they could stick their races bullshit Army and I got out when I got out and I got out as an E1 I told him to stick the rank where the sun don't shine I could have cared less but I did make sure one thing I got my honorable and I got screwed on getting the Good conduct metal so they screwed me on the Good conduct middle and screwed me in the rink if I had made E4 I would have reenlisted because I really wanted to stay in for my 20 and have a decent retirement but no they had the stick me in a racist ass company should have gone to Germany I know if I'd gone to Germany I would have made E5 and gone from there but it is what it is and there was a surgeon behind all that too Sergeant no one really liked but a lot of people kissed his ass God bless
Pretty sure the "Y" harness was never used by the 82nd, the "H" harness supported the load much better and prevented twisting.
1990s "Medical kit" contains one bandage. Modern medical kit contains bandages, chest seals, hemostatic gauze, several tourniquets, burn dressings and additional gear. Crazy how much things have changed.
crazy how much our kit weighs too xD
@@namenotfound8747 sort of, 60 pounds is kinda the general consensus throughout history or whatever the equivalent to a third of your body weight is. This goes for everybody from Spartans to Napoleons Old Guard. Since ww2 soldiers have started carrying drastically more weight. Now in with full ruck and with battle rattle the gear is 100 pounds or more depending on weapon system and if you have radios etc etc.
If you were in the 82nd CIF would issue a kevlar helmet with the pad already installed (we referred to them as kevlars, - the term k-pot did not come about untiol the very late 80s or even early 90's). Also you did not need 550 cord to keep the "foliage band" on the helmet during airborne operations, never saw anyone do that.
I was in the Division from '85 -'87 (2/504) and it was not uncommon to replace all the metal clips on the harness with 550 cord. This is not only more comfortable when wearing a ruck, but also more comfortable when in a parachute harness. Other than division review, we never had bayonets issued to us when going to the field (that may have been different in other battalions), but most 11B's did have knives of some type on their LBE's. I had one LBE for actual use and another for IG or other inspections.
Other than bayonet training in basic I drew a bayonet exactly one time. We had a brigade change of command ceremony in Korea and we marched with fixed bayonets…..
