hey brother i’m in 3/7 right now, part of weapons company
NO SHIT!
I don't know of many the served that don't have "left over gear" 😅
6:28 what was my safety doing in vietnam ???
Randomly popped up, won't watch, how was your f*ck weekend with the liar Canterbury spooning your jew butthole?
Rumor has it that there is a supply officer at CIF still trying to track down some missing gear. I wonder where it went. 😂
😂😂😂😂😂
Not an officer, a bitter, chain smoking retired E-7.
Afghanistan ?
@@donnywilkes6417 Or... a boot was part of the working party that turned gear in and he marked his name off without actually turning it in... ask me how I know these things 😁
This guy 😂😂😂
July 17, remember Corpsman Daniel Joseph Bennett, KIA 07/15/1965 loading wounded into the helicopter. He rests in peace looking West under a tree at the Southern End of Point Loma National Cemetery. He was my sponsor for Devil Pups at Camp Pendelton the summer 1965. Danny and his father are in my thoughts each July.
I joined in 90, went to basic in 90, ait in 91. Deployed a day later. 6 more deployments and 21 years later, i was wounded in Afghanistan. The Army charged me for gear from AIT in 1991. I remember shelter halfs and sharing a shelter. We also carried m9 bayonets. Thanks for the flashbacks....DRINK WATER YOU!!!!
My son is at Parris Island as we speak carrying on the family tradition! Semper Fi
Ahhh the memories, the dehydrated, blistered, chafing, athletes footed memories.
Not to knock the Gravy Seals Meal team six members on TH-cam but one of my favorite things about your channel is that it's practical information for military and civilians. You stress survivability and fitness. I'd rather be prepared and fit with an M14 than the best gun with every attachment only to collapse on a patrol or get knocked out of the game with a case of the $#!+$ because you weren't prepared
@@ec6052 my exact sentiment
I was in the British Army around the same time. I left in 98 after 16 years. It was quite normal to carry anywhere up to 120lbs on excercise, which was usually 4 to 6 weeks. Paying for it now.
That flack and Duce gear made me shorter. I was 5’ 4” when I went in and left at 5’2” 🤦🏽♂️😂😂
I miss my old gear like that. 🥹 I was in from 95-03. 2/1 G Company
Semper Fi brother
🦅 🌎 ⚓️
Thank you and all Veterans for your service ! Wicked Awesome old skool load out ...we used alot of this gear in the Boy Scouts as our scout master and some of the other kids dads were Vietnam Vets . This brings back lots of memories of using the med. Alice as my camping pack , with the canteens and poncho liner and poncho as our summer sleeping bags in New England
Thanks bro 72-78rainbow division
Hey Corporal, thanks for this informative and interesting "inside look". I'm looking forward to part 2
This video brought back a lot of memories. The only differences between your loadout and ours being the flack jacket and helmet. We wore the Vietnam Era flack jacket and steel pot helmets. Excellent video! Semper Fi brother!
Appreciate your insight. A gallon of water is around 8.5 lbs. A 150lb bob isn't feasible for most.
Thank you for your service, and thanks for sharing the gear you carried/used.
Ex British army from the 80s. It definitely takes a toll on the body. But, we don't complain, we just keep moving forward and get on with it. So glad you have enlightened the public, as some of them have no idea.👍
Ah 58 pattern time. The best cold weather smock ever was the 58 DPM cold weather smock. I now use a wool swandri Bush shirt as the liner, the padded nylon one was light but not very warm.
To me when the info is good I'll stay to the end. I can't remember ever not staying to the end of your videos.
You had me at Chili Mac. All jokes and old movie quotes aside this is going to be a great series!
Great video Shawn! Looking forward to seeing the 2nd part.
VERY cool! My dad was in Vietnam near the end and in the Guard for years. His dad was a WW2 vet, and between both of them, they managed to “hold on” to some souvenirs. As a kid I was fascinated by a lot of the old gear, (even tried some old MREs when they were still in a metal can), and some of this stuff brings back fond memories. Thanks for all you do!
Awesome video, Thanks for your service Corp!!!🇺🇸
Love the "Return of the Living Dead' reference with 245 Trioxin. I can tell you are a man of culture.
Nice trip back down memory lane.
Great video and short walk into the past. I was Army in 1983 and we had the steel pot which was a two piece head gear. It had a fiber glass inside piece and then the outer steel helmet or pot. Clip on helmet band that left blisters around your forehead especially in hot weather. Those were great helmets because you could use the steel pot to carry water from the pond, river or blister bags to use for bathing or even to heat up water on a fire. The cover was 100% cotton with the stitched holes for camo that could be used as a wash cloth. The steel pots were heavier than the Kevlar helmets so when the Kevlar came out we were happy soldiers. We did wear the flack vest and as a paratrooper you could add another 75 pounds of weight to your 100 lbs easily for the days we had to jump. Normally you typically go two jumps in a month or 24 jumps in a year. Was a paratrooper for eight years and that's why I need double knee replacement surgery now. But I had great times parachuting into Central and South America, the Gulf of Mexico, Grenada, and many states. As paratroopers we used the large rucksack instead of the medium or small. I got to train twice with the marines at the Marine Amphibious Assault course in North Fork Virginia. First with A Co. 27th EN (CBT ABN) and then again with HHC 27th EN (CBT ABN), both fell under the 130th EN BDE stationed at Fort Bragg. Each time the training was conducted in February. From the ship to the amphibious assault crafts we used the rope nets you see in WWII movies or obstacle courses. The amphibious assault crafts were the old versions from WWII. You got wet going to the beach and then the door fell open and you ran into the cold ocean and took the beach obstacles then two bunkers. Had a great time training with the Marines and Navy, great time!
This kind of gear dump is awesome, looking forward to the second part and a "modern" equivalent. It'd probably be expensive, but a WW2 marine load-out would also be fantastic.
most already cant watch this and YT has already punished the video, so doing a WW2 video will go unwatched and further throttle my channel
One of my favorite video topics. Thanks man
My day- steel pot, c-rats, flak vest, canvas web. 😂
When that flak is full of sweat and hate , it’s 37 lbs. lol.
or water.........
Thanks for the trip down memory lane. I was a mortar man, serving two years in a weapons platoon and a year and a half in 81s. I weighed about 160 pounds back then. Fully loaded for war, I tipped the scale at just under 350 pounds. Not many people can imagine force marching over 30 miles in a day carrying that much weight. Only a grunt knows. Semper Fi.
I joined the reserve in 1994 and went into the Seabees as a builder. I have used all of that equipment and still have some of it. Good times!
Excellent video really interesting, and it wasnt too long at all, definitely would love more videos like this
with the views this low and being unable to pay bills this will probably be the last large loadout video like this
Last night was a good reminder about how crazy our country has been becoming. Being prepared is always timely and your experience with what you carry is valuable AF.
and Yt dialed down the videos as well
Thank you. 👍
The throw-back kit was worth a like brother. Keep doing what you are doing.
AHHHH THE GOOD OL DAYS OF "HUMPING ALICE" ........ I WAS IN THE ARMY IN DESERT STORM BUT WE CARRIED ALOT OF THE SAME TYPE OF STUFF, THE ANGLE LIGHT, THE PONCHO AND LINER, KEVLAR HELMET AND OTHER STUFF .... GOOD VIDEO CORP. !!
Whoo-hoo CORPORAL!! I LOVED THIS VIDEO!!! I loved the length too!!! You ROCKED it!!! Always informative, always awesome, and ALWAYS OUTSTANDING!!!! I’m so glad that I was able to keep it together when you said you were “freeballin-it-baby”….i was drinking coffee at the moment, lol!!! I love all you do, Corporal! You are a blessing and I pray you have a wonderful Sunday…get yourself a nice, big, juicy steak covered with garlic butter and mushrooms and a loaded baked potato….you gotta keep your strength up for those shredded man muscles! 🏕️🪵🤗
Enjoyed that one corp,cheers,I was uk infantry around the same time and was just trying to remember all my old gear,thanks.
Nice flash back. I was a Mortar Man 0341 with Lema co 3/6 from 86-90. Loved the sound of the sand in the threads of the E-tool.
I'm having flashbacks 😂 Ten years after retirement the boot band marks finally went away.
Now I'm free........
.....free ballin!
I joined the US Army in 1992 and our load out was exactly the same except our bayonet was different than the Kabar and we didn't always get the larger canteen.
Another reminder of why I am SO GRATEFUL to those who serve to secure and maintain my freedom. Thank you!!!
During the 70s when I was in the Army we were not issued a knife of any type, if we wanted to carry an Ifak, we had to buy it and whatever content we chose...we had the full stainless canteen set which was the canteen, cup and stove...we did have the same flashlight with red & green lens adapters....steel helmet with liner....flak jacket....we also had web gear harnesses.
we didn't have MREs but instead had the MCIs....our uniforms and all equipment was OD green, no camo patterns which I actually prefer to this day.......the M16A1 was my backup weapon as I was a Door Gunner........the comparison in gear is pretty close, I wish we had the Alicepaks....Great episode !!
Great as always ❤. Thanks for your service.
Great old school gear rundown. It is pretty similar to the gear we wore in the Army. The units that I was assigned to never issued the old school First Aid Kit, we only got the compression bandage and an extra compass pouch to wear on the LBE shoulder strap. Our compass would be worn on our pistol belt and dummy-corded in so we wouldn't lose it. Instead of the K-Bar, we were issued either an M-7 or M-9 Bayonet. We were never issued a butt pack, we had to get those at surplus stores or get them from U.S. Cavalry or Ranger Joes. I was issued the old orange triple-flange ear plugs. I wore those through Desert Storm and three deployments to OIF and never suffered hearing loss. Those who wore the "updated" ear plugs suffered hearing loss. I have noticed that my issued rain poncho has a rubberized clear coating on it. The ones that we can buy commercially, do not have that rubbery coating on them. Great video. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Man, talk about a trip to the past! Holy sht! I swear I could smell the cammo paint. 😂 Good times.
Oh Shawn you bring back memories from back in the day!! I what I don’t miss was the M40 gas mask plus the Mopp suit and army wise the pup tent aka two man shelter 😂we wrapped our poly pad with our half and carried on top of of our ALICE large Ruck!😂 Awesome video
I like Corporal Kelly and his long videos . Good work , keep it up sir ! ! !
Unsat non-rubberbitch sleeping pad. Did anyone every use shelter halves? None of my units even issued them, other than bootcamp. The flak jacket was perfect to hold your head up so you could sleep while riding in the back of a deuce and a half or 5 ton. My room mate in my last barracks went AWOL. I got his flack jacket and Kevlar helmet (was only 2 years after the steel pots went away, sad times). When I processed out, I chickened out and left them in the room. Probably a good idea, no one needs bad karma or a vacation in the brig.
I LOVED this video. Your flashlight brought back my old Boy Scout days. That flashlight was one of my favorite tools. Keep it up. Missed the long videos, but I know if there is not a lot of views, you can’t keep doing them. But please know there are lots of us out here who love them. Have a great day!
Thanks for the memories, ANG we had the same gear, but we as a TAC Clinic were only able to use once a year. You are providing more information about the gear and it’s use then I had in my whole career in the ANG.
You mentioned to Pancho and Pancho liner taking up a lot of space. 240 bandolier for the Pancho and saw bandolier for the liner. Makes it stuff really tight and bonus as a pillow in ur sleep system if you don’t use it out right.
I was never in, but that sounds like experience!
I remember when it was 1999. I remember listening to the Art Bell show on the radio right before it turned 2000 to hear if everything shut down. I had extra t.p.
Great video!! I love to see videos explaining military gear. I served in the Corps from 1969-1972. I was with 1/9 and then was sent to 29 Palms so I can appreciate what you went through at 29 carrying all that gear in that intense heat. I was in before ALICE packs and some of your other gear but I am familiar with shelter halfs. Looking forward to your next video. Oorah!!
Memories!!! Lol!!! When we got really lucky then we had to carry gas mask, MOPP Gear, flares, claymores!!!! And if you really lucky you got an 870, SAW or an M-60, later on M-240G….ahhh almost a Prick E-7 those who know will know….. One last thing!!! Screw Shelter halves!!!
I carried 120lbs plus a 25lb medical bag.👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
Bringing back the memories Semper Fi brother
awesome video, brings back memories. That's basically the same load we used in the late 90's with 3ed Id.
Your videos helped me get through a difficult period about 6 years ago where I was unable to go anywhere for about 9 months stuck inside bored senseless. Finally I'm able to actually go and do some of this stuff and wanted to say a massive thanks! 👍🙂
All wait for part two for sure I know deploying to Iraq I weighed 180 and 6ft2 tall loading up on the bird for weight and full load out the scale weight for me was 325lbs 😮with the luxury of being an E-4 at the time and a SAW gunner!
77-81 yes my back hurts. Great video
One hike, I carried 32 lbs for 8 hrs up 1400 ft in elevation, and when I got up there, I put my pack down and thought my shoulders would fall off. I can't imagine 80 lbs! In addition, I made a mistake in how I packed my loadout into my pack. A learning experience, indeed.
Shawn, I am 64 never served. I have alot of veterans in my family. Two are combat marines from Nam. Both highly decorated. I thank you for your service and love your videos.
Hey Kelly in my 25 years of service I've carried everything you displayed in this video. And made changes based on environment and personal preference. I love this video. It takes me back both good and bad.
For the algorithm brother I like the attitude Corp of if it doesn't matter anyway then I'm gonna do whatever I want!!
been doing that and now I can no longer pay the bills from YT
@recall5811 I understand that completely unfortunately people just doom scroll these days and can't be bothered to watch anything for more than 30 seconds most people I know can't listen to a whole 3 minute song
Those triple flange ear plugs were uncomfortable crap. That ringing in your ears is just a constant reminder of time spent with some if the best friends you'll ever have.
That is crazy! The weight we carried was ridiculous. In the ALICE pack we carried two sets of uniforms and an extra pair of boots. We wrapped clothes in plastic bags to waterproof them. This made the pack float.
The weight was more if you were dealing with heavy weapons. Mortars etc. I went to machine gun school at camp Pendleton and carrying those guns were heavy. The Mk19 was no joke either.
At the bottom of the angle head flashlight, was an extra bulb.
Oh, we also carried a bulky gas mask on our leg!
This episode brought back memories. Thanks for sharing
I was also machine gunner! Yeah, it really sucked! But it also was really cool!
I have been out for the count for quite a while. You know what I love? SUNDAY MORNING, coffee, cigar and your videos!
Keep it up. Your videos help me every week.
Fyi, even your video of the crackling fire. I believe it was over. Christmas was absolutely perfect. I put it on the big screen, cock down with a hot cup of coffee. Listen to a book on tape while you're crackling fire was going. Your videos do so much!😊
Keep being amazing
Your old-school gear videos are awesome. Looking forward to part 2 and the chili mac.
Always enjoy your content!!
60s military brat many bases including Germany. Used to camp in the forest off base of 181st artillery in Mainz. My fav the belt , canteen, first aid pouch, flashlight, half tent, and that wonderful goose down mummy bag.. I can still sometimes smell that cotton...😇
This is one of my favorite videos yet. I love 80's-90's military gear and I could watch you talk about it for 2 hours straight!
Now that's cool
Oh, someone "lost" his 782 /deuce gear card when they separated and his buddies in supply were none the wiser.
That's definitely a younger man's pack weight. Everything you do is common sense. I like the half hour videos. It's half an hour away from the stresses of life where I can concentrate on someone who is giving me no BS or Attitude, just good advice. Cheers mate 👍 🐕 🤠 🇦🇺
My lunch break on Sunday consists of watching your video while I eat. Longer video = longer break. You won't catch me complaining about a 30min video; gives me time to chew my food. Thanks for that. Happy Sunday.
I was Army 86 to 91. At my first duty station in Germany we were issued the exact same ALICE gear and kevlar "Fritz" helmet. We were not issued a butt pack, we had to buy our own. We were issued a M8 bayonet, no K-Bar kniver were available.
Were you not issued a bayonet?
They were in the Armory, bayonets too dangerous for Marines to be issued one, lol!!! Now some units do issue them since also considered a fighting knife!!! Crazy times, thank god never got issued the M-9 I would lost too many of them vice having to carry that pig!!!
Excellent job, very informativeal
Great review. I was Army serving from 1980-1987 starting out with OD GREEN fiteegs uniforms and C rations for field food. I've learned how to make make shift stoves with the cans, but when the MRE'S 1st came out, everyone got sick. So it wasn't a good start for the MRE'S at 1st. Keep up the good work and God bless you and your family
My first mre in '86 was the dehydrated pork patty meal. It gave me food poisoning. It was November, Ft. Dix, three feet of snow on the ground doing Paragon Trail.
Took me a while to circle back and watch this, but I'm glad I did! Great video.
Oh, the memories! Gotta love the Deuce gear. Thank you for the trip down memory lane, Shawn. Semper Fi!
OoohRah! USMC 1967 - 69. Semper Fi!
At Army 2 to 3 week Annual Training, I had my Canteens setup with water in one and Jack Daniel's in the other one. While in the Intenest Tackcal with NBC uniform, I would get thirsty and grabbed a Canteen and hook it all up and hooked up the wrong one. What a surprise when I sucked in my Jack Daniel's. We had the best smelling NBC Room though. LMAO
Super informative and confirms a lot of my arguments with people about the gear needed to be in the field for several days without being able to resupply. Thank you!
Need more videos like this.
so this is close to what my dad used to do in the 82nd back in 1994
THANKS AGAIN FOR ANOTHER AWESOME VIDEO, Shawn!
Another great video thanks for the flashback.
This must have been nostalgic AF.
Too cool. Almost everything you showed I had issued to me in the 80's (Battle-rattle) the canteen was the old style but the flak jacket, LB E, pack etc we had here in Germany (Army 3rd Armored Div) 1986-1989 Fulda Gap. We got issued the M16A2 in 1987. I was a CPL then too... lol.
I was so glad when we got the A2s. I'm a lefty.
M-16 A2 😍
I watch all your videos regardless of length. If they are longer than the time I have available I just pick up where I left off later on. I wait for the midweek and especially appreciate the Sunday episodes. Thank you. Keep up the great work and stay healthy.🖖🏼👍🏼🤙🏼👏🏻
Finally caught this early enough to get a cup & bottle set.
As always, a most informative video.
Good stuff!
Not too long at all. I am constantly reevaluating my gear and what I carry.
it makes may day watching your video
Ah, the old days!
crazy how strong I was back then....falling apart now
Semper Fi
Ah heck! Memories and nightmares.
Liked it.
I was Army in the late 80's-early 90s and we used all the same gear. I still have much of it, accumulated over the years, and still use a lot of that. Add : 1 60mm mortar round, 1 pound of C4, a belt of 7.62 for the MG and 3 40mm grenades, e-tool and wire cutters, plus all the water you could carry, at 8 pounds a gallon. If you carried a LAW, you didn't carry a mortar round. Oh, how we loved a good hump! 😅
