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 ?
