Long Live to the USMC!!! Incredible!!! Amazing work man!!
My favorite is M81 Woodland PASGT Gear!! And 3 color DCU Woodland IBA/MARPAT DESERT Woodland IBA.
31:55 right still great kit. To me is fanboying
Man the MTV Vest is a weird one!!!
Thanks for the link Brent.
I was going to ask you... where could I purchase some of these foreign military camo patterns/uniforms that you've covered in video reviews ?
I sincerely appreciate the work you do in creating and sharing these videos....especially the camouflage & now body armor. These are two areas that I've always been intrigued.
I've done tons of research and some of my own creating & experimenting.
More importantly, I appreciate and Thank You for your service as a Marine !
Plot twist, he is just an immortal that has fought in every single one of America’s wars since WWI.
LMAO just like wolverine.
Plot twist: he filed for disability with the VA in 1865 and still waiting for the approval.
0:53 holy shit he waited until it started snowing just to do that one. You sir are determined to make the videos as authentic as possible.
I assume thats the korean war?
Yes
@@coolpants4590 yup a few months ago Texas had a bad snow storm so it was perfect timing
"Green side out,
Brown side out!
Run in circles,
Scream and shout!"
My uncle taught me that little rhyme about the reversible camo as a kid back in the '60s.
Sums up American war efforts and losing every war they've gotten into solo.
@@bashkillszombies Spanish-American war? Mexican-American war? those are just off the top of my head.
@@bashkillszombies we didn't go into Afghanistan solo, we lost that war with other NATO countries!
My great grandfather was a Seabee during ww2 and he said the marines he was attached with used to say that a lot.
@@bashkillszombies loving how most of the wars the US lost (besides vietnam) is considered to be draws
I'm fairly impressed at the detail of your collection in the begining, like you even got the NBC gear right.
Thanks
@@Brent0331 SEMPER FIDELIS from Nebraska
You know he served in the 2nd invasion of Iraq right? 🤣 I’m pretty sure he knows a few things about battle rattle
@@mixmaster2909 yup, im more just impressed by the smaller details people tend to miss. NBC related stuff is a small retard hobby of mine, so people paying attention to that stuff gets me off.
The winter season of the Korean War part is true. You cannot believe how cold the winter is in Korea. Was in the 2nd Infantry Division (US Army) for my winter over experience. You earned that title of "The Frozen Chosin." Not Chosen it's Chosin, a word that was used for the nation of Korea long time ago. Once spent a winter week on the Han River. So cold that if you left your hot coffee out too long you got a coffee flavored ice cube, rickety-tick.
Ha, thanks for commenting.
Another funny thing about being in the 2nd Infantry Division is that you are a turtle. The story about the turtle is the 2nd ID's personnel replacement detachement was at Camp Casey. There was two quanset huts in the middle of the fenced off compound. Everybody spent two days of in-processing before you went to your new unit. One was in-processing the other was out-processing. The doors to these quanset huts were 18-feet apart. So it took one year to go 18 feet. Thus you are a turtle.
Osan AB, 1980-81. Coldest I have ever been in my entire life. Crew chief on 19 TASS OV-10's & 36TFS F-4E's. Seldom under shelter, always out in the weather. Midnight shift the whole f*€kin time. More than once, walked into the flight shack with icicles hanging off of me.
Tri Color Desert, Vietnam and Marpat are my favorite Eras of the Marines Gear
FOR THE ALGORITHM WE WAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!⚔️⚔️⚔️
I’ll de the same.
Words cannot describe how awesome the scalable plate carrier is.
It’s practical but gets a 5.2 in cool factor. The JPC looks cooler
@@5.7moy not a JPC fan. I really like the LBX Armatus 2, HRT RAC, and LT Scarab. The Armatus is the best looking PC on the market.
@@5.7moy
PCs are unbased and cringe, return to assaultkit!
@@KoishiVibin Better yet, 1937 webbing, both British and American.
@@KoishiVibin You might be memeing real hard here but I actually agree with you.
Makes you appreciate all those men who came before us. Great video!
The amount of work that went into something like this is impressive to consider. Thank you.
Concerning the Vietnam era M-1 helmet:
A big concern a lot of GI's had about the chin strap was that an enemy could come up behind you, grab the helmet, jerk it backwards conceivably snapping the neck in the C1-C3 area of the cervical spine causing instant paralysis and/or death.
Hence, the breakaway chin strap & the nape strap on later M-1s.
How hard would someone have to yank the helmet to break the neck??
Simply brilliant. Not only does your collection look amazing, but its clear that you truly research your material.
Thanks brother
Outstanding video, this video should be incorporated into Marine Corps history learning at MCRD Parris Island/San Diego.
Solid breakdown of the progression of armor. What a difference a century makes.
One of my favorite videos from you thus far
🌞
Thanks
That handy notebook should not be underestimated. Human memory is fallible, and notes on landmarks, enemy disposition, etc. can make the difference between living and dying.
Holy cow man, the amount of gear you show in this video is nuts. Thanks for the video!
Thanks for watching.
I fully expected you to come out with the Stinger LMG in your WW2 load out. LOL. Great vid, Brent!
Great video as always! Always love the thoroughness of your historical stuff!
Very interesting Brent! Very nice presentation....
Thanks
Outstanding research and video! It brings back my fond memories in the Corps🇺🇸
👊🦅🌎⚓
was nice to hear that music in the beginning again. I used to hate that song since it meant I was passing in review in a parade.
Another outstanding video Brent, Semper Fi!
Appreciate it!
probably my favorite video you've made.
Thanks
One great history lesson for today,..Glade to see the bayonets make an appearance once again...I think with all the gear that you showed on your videos, you could put together a museum...Nice job putting together this class on Marine Corp history...Thanks !!!
Thanks
Brent0331 over here with the birthday ball pageant drip. Straight historical 🔥
Ha
Truly outstanding brother!
Appreciate it
Wow this was a well thought out video and I really appreciate your effort into the format of the video! Just drank a cup of coffee and listened the whole time
Very good video. I served with E. 2/6 during 1998-02 and discharged in 2005. I got to see VAST transition between PASGT, MOLLE, MARPAT, WOODLAND utilities and boots from recruit training all the way to modern issue boots. In boot and first entering FMF we were issued the much hated Moon Boots aka Commandant boots along with all black jungle boots. Jungles were preferred but I always liked the full speed lace up leather boots myself. In ‘98-‘99 we had PASGT flaks with the old skool LBV’s. Those were great. We also were issued the awesome medium rucks. The ones with the LCV frame. Couple of us us had the large mountain rucks. Beginning in 2000 the transition to the much hated and POS MOLLE started. All of our 782 gear was reissued and broke constantly. Only thing that was suitable was the web gear. Everything sucked dick. Point to remember is with around 2000-02 the early Intercepter vests sizing were fucked up to say the least. At that time I wore a small and the carrier could not and would not accept small SAPI plates. The medium vests fit the small SAPI plates and so on. So us small guys got away with not carrying another 10lbs of kit. After ‘02 that problem was corrected before Iraq kicked off. Fast forward to MARPAT a survey was taken USMC wide and 90% of marines voted for the Tiger Stripe pattern. The Commandant at the time chose to rip off the Canadians and go with the pixel pattern. Why we had a survey then is beyond me. Sergeants we the first to start being issued the new MARPAT around 2003 until stocks caught up with demand. We were allowed to wear our woodlands and black boots until 2004 whereas total conformity in 2005 for the new uniform. Our OEF pump in ‘02 we went in with our black boots and by the end of deployment we all had been issued desert boots. OEF 2002 we still had the desert 3 color woodland design with those HUGE ass collars. We were issued boonie covers and the 8 sided covers were almost non existent. I think a couple officers in the S shops wore them but boonies were essential on the line in Dubouti because of the unrelenting sun and heat. Great video.
Great work man!!! From old ones to modern MARPAT Amazing work man!!! Semper Fi!!!
S/F brother.
Great video Devil Dog!
Semper Fidelis!
Thanks brother S/F!
Excellent presentation. Very informative.
Thanks
Great video! Thanks for posting!
Thanks
Absolutely loved my plate carrier in Afghanistan. Being an LAR unit, only vehicle crewman were actually issued them while us scouts had the mtv. Luckily I managed to tactically acquire one for myself from supply before deploying. My mtv stayed in my deployment bag the whole trip. 😁
Nice! S/F brother.
"tactically acquire"
lmao
This is the best description of M1 helmet use I've seen. Helps navigating the world of EBay.
There's definitely better videos out there on each item. Each little piece of gear I show in this rates its own video, however, I had to condense it all to make it into one enjoyable episode.
This is absolutely incredible!
Thanks
The Groin Protector we called it "Johnson Armor". LOL!! Outstanding presentation once again.
Ha
Haha, I remember when my Battalion got issued IMTVs after our first deployment. You've never heard so much bitching in your life. A bunch of guys got in trouble because they wore the old plate carriers (they weren't supposed to have) on a hike and some O-4 noticed and gave them an ass-chewing. I definitely wasn't one of them. Nope, not me.
Ha, yup. Sometimes people just don't understand that there's something as "too much" when it comes to being a grunt.
This is one thing the army is good about. Officers send NCOs to do corrections unless it’s an officer making the mistake. An NCO will give you shit until you say “my commander authorized it” at which point NCO fucks off because he got drug into an officer fight. In the army, you’re an E8 or E9 before you start fucking with other units. Maybe a ballsy terminal e7. And it’s very rarely Infantry. Usually the soft skills are hyper focused on garrison tasks. Plus we’re taught to mind our own business because of things like “Command authorization”. It’s kinda fun to be able to tell an E9 giving you shit about your uniform “Well my commander authorized it SMaj. You have to take it up with him. I’m just following orders. At which they usually try calling the Battalion SMaj, who tells them to stay in their lane. Seen it happen, have had it happen to me, and had a smile on my face the entire time.
The best argument I’ve ever seen was two E9s bitching at each other, because one SMaj walked past our battalion area and started SNCOing and smoking guys. My SMaj shut that shit down, in front of the Joes. “You wanna on the spot correct my guys? Let’s go see what 1/14 looks like? I’m gonna find some deficiencies.” This progressed to the point where guys called IG on both of the E9s for the games they were playing and using Joe to accomplish this. They were doing dumb shit like stealing sand out of the motorpool from each other. Division SMaj, from what I heard from his driver, had them both on the carpet smoking their balls.
Well done! I am sure the project took allot of work to created and I am grateful thanks .
Thanks it sure did!
Brent thank you for such well done informative content

I was with the 3/7 from 29 palms and during the first gulf War all I ever had was woodland green we weren't given desert utility's till we got back.
Interesting. I know a couple guys who were in Desert Storm, they all got 6 color desert camies but no desert boots.
Thanks for the lesson!
Thanks for watching
@@Brent0331 I'm happy to support you and thank you for your service sir!
Everytime I watch your videos I learn something and see something I need to add to my collection. Excellent video as always.
Thanks
I’m a gear nut and this is an amazing overview!
Thanks
@@Brent0331 you’re quite welcome! Oorah
Desert MARPAT is the hottest modern camo to exit in my opinion.
I preferer the AOR 1 but the MARPAT was the first step to all the American Digital Camos projects
Shit dude you sound just like my DS (I’m in the army). I knew you were a marine through and through the second I heard your voice
He sounds like he would be that one DI in those military movies
The 1917 helmet used a somewhat stronger steel than the British Mk 1.
I remember that there actually was a ballistically protective helmet variant of that, or some soviet design.
@@KoishiVibin Soviet design was produced in Leningrad during the siege, I think
This is a useful thing to show students in my class that ask about how soldiers went from Knight to nowadays
I remember wearing the old flack jackets from the '80s, and the utilities... the big bitch today, is that the new Marpat blouse doesn't have lower pockets on the blouse, but now they're on the sleeve... the bad part about that, is when you roll up your sleeves, the pockets are useless!
The Army would just say “The army decided you don’t need to worry about pockets, you’re not allowed to use them anyway.”
“Why are you complaining about rolling sleeves? We put the pockets on the sleeve So you can’t roll your sleeves. “
This is the reaction to our uniform shift.
@@fathead8933 This was about Marines...
@@ke6ziu oh you guys have the monopoly on stupid uniform decisions? Lol. I know it’s about Marines. The army got stupid with wear of uniform too.
Amazing video
Thanks a ton
Thanks

Semper Fidelis and This We'll Defend!!🇺🇸🦅🌎⚓❤️
Brent I have one of the original Army Experimental vests with front and back plates. I picked these plates up from Fort Gillium Georgia years ago on an equipment run for the KSP.
These vests, boots, fatigues, night scopes ect. were in the shipment I picked up. The C.O. told me to take one for use. There were a couple cases of plates and vests. So me and another officer tested these. 30-06, 308, 7.62x39, 5.56 ,300 WM plus several pistol calibers. Not even a bulge on the back side of the plate. This was on one plate. The pistols did nothing very little in the front side. If you are interested in pictures of the vest and plates or whatever, let me know and leave contact info.
Great video as usual.
Keep'em coming!
Thanks, Bruce and I will do a video on these sometime this spring or summer. If you have IG you can send those pics to me and I may incorporate them in that video if you're good with that.
@@Brent0331
I don't have Instagram. The vest I have, is by the pictures you posted, Army.
I do have Gmail.
I keep puttees with my kit. I also use a steel Ww2 canteen. Other guys in my unit poked fun at me being a young man wearing old gear, but the jokes stopped after the snow fell. Great content as always Brent.

Good stuff! My Grandfathers Uncles and My dad were all Marines serving in WW1, WW2, KOREA AND DAD VIETNAM. I went in after high school in 1987-1991. I used all Vietnam era Allis gear! Canteens, M-14 mag pouches. Rook sack or butt pack. But I used a M-12 NYLON flap holster. Better than the leather ones. We were issued M-1 helmets in 1989 we were issued German kavlar helmets. I hated them. I wore my boony hat all the time or my Marine cover. I was 0317 Recon sniper so I didn't have to stick to the rules. It be me and my spotter, once in a while my 8 man recon unit! My Web belt I bought my self at the PX came with the plastic buckle. The dam aluminum buckle would break! Dad's WW2 buckle broke to. He put heavy wire on it as a hook. In 1953 his Gunny said now you give the meaning to Improvise, adapt, and over come! His Lt. Said replace it Sgt. Dad said so it breaks again Fuck that! In cub and Boy scouts we had the old Vietnam era Web belts to 1975 -1987. I loved the Allis Web gear the best. Shoulder straps to. The New Marines and Navy Seals have better and lighter stuff. Great show Marine devil dog Simper Fi Marine!
