CCT/PJs

Same CCT from above, just with the rifle in hand. The two other pictures are PJs, I like the strobe on the helmet.

It's not that great of a pic, but I was wondering if anyone can tell what type of pouches he's using?

Here is a picture of TACP guys I picked up at militaryphotos. Nothing to write home about, but shows their gear nicely and I think this is the most important thing on this forum

Hi,
In that Djibouti freefall pic, it's a Sage Int. Enhanced Battle Rifle (fancy pants M14). Ask me how I know. ; ) Also, the guy in the top big picture (the one with all the mags across his chest) had that rig made for him, it's not a COTS item.
Regards,
G

Does anyone know whether AFSOC is using the new ABUs?

 

[justin_g]

I'd say probably not if they can help it. Alot of the time they are attached to other units so they would wear what they are wearing - and secondly the ABU(despite the name) is not really designed for combat use(pocket config, colours, etc).

Combat Controllers and PJs.

Honestly it's stuff like this that makes me want to join the Armed Forces so badly...

So why not do it It's obsession for this kind of stuff that made me decide to join.

These are friggin' great pics. These threads are the juice that drives some of the best bashes we see.

Good work!

(Nice helmet - second row, last on right.)

The colors, and pocket configuration(mostly colors) Do not differ much from the ACU's, and the ABU's are a combat uniform.
