hardcore pose before ambush patrol

Typical "Hard Core" posed picture to send home. I used an M16 rarely, and typically only on a listening post assignment at night. On ambush patrols I carried my regular M60. The tiger suit was sold by some mamasan on our road clearing route. I did wear the dagger located on my left leg all the time. Easier than carrying a 1911 with my M60. The vest I made by tearing out sleeves and then sewing on two 7 pocket empty 5.56 bandoliers. After the picture I gave the vest to Jimmy Robinson who used it a lot.
