Cool pics...

But I see subdued flags instead of ACU flags (and the stars are on the wrong side) ;) But it's awesome to see swedes using ACU, I think that's one of the best things I've seen in a while :D

Your 249 gunner has the flag backwards lol
Awesome pics, our seasons about to start up so hopefully we'll get alot of ACU pics :)

The Big Re... uh... The Big Grey One! Most guys go with the ACU with red 1 1st inf patch so it's nice to see the plain ACU version.

Mud Gunner March 18th, 2008 11:32

Well theres a story behind the black one and the red one, when the ACU was first designed, it was decided that the big red "1" would be black to be more "tactical". This was done without involved the 1st, which created a crap storm and they decided they would redo the badges in red. Now some guys do wear the black, some guys were the red and life is good again for the 1st.

I have seen 1st infantry worn on right sleeve and on the left sleeve and combinations of subunit or no unit on the left sleeve.

Useless trivia!

Great kits, go with coyote Tan / Bown and youve got it set!!!
The last one is good for all of you people who think that ACU stands out like blaze . LOL
BTW
What types of badges can be worn on the right sleeve below the flag??? Pics? Diver patches LOL?

Or just another unit patch?

Phalanix March 18th, 2008 14:30

I usually just wear the 4ID patch on the right sleeve (under the US Flag).
Actually, I usually have the 4ID patch on both arms. lol

Firewalker March 18th, 2008 14:55

The left sleeve is reserved for SSI's (and skill tabs, airborne, ranger, etc) while the right sleeve is reserved for SSI-FWTS Combat Insignia and only the FWTS "Combat Patch" (Former Wartime Service). It is acceptable to put a second SSI on the right sleeve to break up the blank space while in combat, but not in garrison.

ACU looks sweet. I'll have to pick up for sure!!!

ThunderCactus March 18th, 2008 16:59

Coyote brown and coyote tan don't work well at all on ACU lol
It's very specific, only foliage green and ACU vests work with the camo, anything else like coyote vest, black boots or black gun make you stand out even more because there's a big contrast.

Firewalker March 19th, 2008 05:31

I'd like to update my previous statement.

It's now come to my attention that uniform regulations state that if you do not have a combat patch (SSI-FWTS) you can wear your unit patch (SSI) on both arms in field as well as in garrison. Just came across this information today double-checking my post.

Looking pretty good. If you're interested in authenticity, try these things:

1. Ditch the shoulder pads. Infantry only wears them when they MAKE us wear them. Generally the only dudes you see wearing those stupid shoulder pads are gunners in vehicles. Additionally, don't put patches on the shoulder pads. Nobody does that.

2. Loosen your throat protector to the loosest notch. I generally had mine pulled down as far as it could go.

3. Ditch both kneepads. Alternatively, wear one kneepad on the knee you're likely to kneel down on, and push the other kneepad down around your ankle. We did this on those occasions when they MADE us wear kneepads. Having both on feels awkward when running.

Here's an old one of me in NTC.
