I was in the army 1963-1966.
Our issued uniforms were a mixed bag:
- The all important boots and socks were great.
- The greens and khaki dress uniforms fit and looked pretty good
- The fatigues fit like they were for a bigger guy
- The "boxer" shorts we called "Indian Shorts" because they would creep up and wipe you out.
- The field jackets and parkas were OK
- Baseball caps sucked.
Our weapon, the M14 was great.
More later .... perhaps with photos.
How about your experiences ?

They were long gone when I enlisted in 1963.

Going to Nam in '70, this was in the standard Navy equipment issue. Don't think they were issued in the states though
