Also, why is there a guy only wearing 1 glove, never seen anyone do that. And most guys tend to wear gloves when they are out patrolling.
Also, why is the person in TW CADPAT wearing a AR Boonie hat? Also he should tuck in his boot laces.
Why do you guys have MCpl, Sgt, etc rank insignia drawn on the armour? I've only seen one person do that overseas and it was a Major. Most common thing you'd see on the body armour is the person's blood type or Blood Type and ZAP number or nothing at all. Also, that guy's Sgt rank is missing the maple leaf.
Some weird looking slings and home made ones you guys have. More people tend to use a one point sling going from the rifle to their tac vest/chest rig, either buy one like the Spec Ops Wolf Hook, or made your own out of 550 Cord and a d-ring/carabeaner. The Vickers Combat Application Sling is also pretty popular. Some guys also use the one point slings that loop around the body, again they either buy one, use the issued one(Afghanistan issue) or use the issued 2 point sling and make it a one point.
Theres also no glass bottles of Pepsi overseas, its all tin cans of pop imported from the Middle East or something(its got Arabic writting on the cans)

good comments! thanks!
The dude with the boonie hat and goatee has his own CG634. For some reasons he didn't put it on for the foto...lazy
Gen 3 OD body armour is all we can have for this moment...cannoy find a material for maeking a repro of Arid ones and sure cannot buy issued one
Regarding the scrim...it was an airsoft game of period 2006. Guy wanted to make "a palm" on his head as he has seen on some photos
)) Will recommend to remove.
PAQ4/PAQ2..we are working on that
Person in TW is from different photos
he is a beginner and still has to collect a lot of stuff... IOW: bad logistics
Regarding rank insignia...remains of folly. Seen few time the same and did. Needs to be cleaned long time ago.
Some slings are to be changed, some are alright...I use soft FN Minimi's sling and want to make one from a paracord
Regarding the Pepsi...it was just an airsoft game..and it was what we have received at our "FOB" as a package
BTW, good notes. I didn't thought about it at that moment :banghead:
Good ideas to work on

And a small nit picky point that's more a personal preference: unless you're wearing an undershirt underneath your OTW style shirt I think it's more comfortable to have it tucked into the pant and wearing a belt. I don't know...to me it seems like that would chafe pretty badly afterawhile of walking around. Maybe it's just me.

Same, good notes. Thanks! Will work on it
