Re: Seals in Vietnam

Cool, Id say M56 webbing, Light blue Jeans, ERDL jacket and either a beret, bonnie hat or bandanna, they hardly ever wore M1 helmets. If thats not your style then how about tiger stripe?
Just some quick ideas of the top of my head
hope that helps

I have some M67 ammo pouches if you are interested. Ideal for a late war SF unit.

I seem to recall that was the load out in an episode of quantum leap.
However, jeans in the jungle?

Re: Seals in Vietnam

erdl jacket with tiger stripe trouses, jungle boonie/scrim scarf, chicom and m56 belt with 1911 holster, cantina, and pistol mag pouches? sound sealish?

These guys are apparently SEALs.
No Chicom rig but what look like the pilot survival vests and M56/M67 webbing (the guy on the far left has 2 M67 pouches)

Re: Seals in Vietnam

Not sure about the SEALs but SOG used it during the Nam war. The UZI and he G3 and HK33 were also used at times.
