How I did it;

Fold in into a triangle
Lay the hypotenuse 3/4 on the top of your head with 3/4th on one side and the remainder on the other. You'll have the figure out the exact numbers according to your own head shape.
Hold the small side still
Take the long side and cover your face. Continue to the back to the wanted tightness.
Take the small side and go up over the long side and tie it

Your goggles will fog regardless of how you tie it in a full face. You are blocking the vents so the air flow in obstructed. Worse yet you're breath is being transferred up into the bottom of the goggle making it worse.

The other methods will work, but imagine how your head actually is built. There isn't much for it to latch onto other than a goggle tie. Doing this may cause it to fall at time when you move quickly. I think the main actor from 28 Weeks later uses a Neck gator, which it seems you may be trying to emulate. Which has the elastic band to keep it tight.

As he stated a few times, he does not want to cover his head.

This is not brain surgery.

What you're doing, and where you are doing it, is more exciting than any airsoft event you'll ever attend.

Enjoy it. 8)

If they are looking at the MilSim crowd and are getting worried, they need to seriously re-think their own level of readiness.

I can count on a few fingers the number of airsofters I'd trust my life to in a hostile environment.  Really, most airsofters have no tactical critical thinking skills, and are not familiar enough with firearms.

And who the fuck is MIAC, anyway?

Nice!

GBBRs Rule!

Suckas,,,

Except when the mags leak.

Or it's cold.

Or it breaks.

Or there are FPS limits.

Or the day ends in "y".

I have real guns that have a reciprocating bolt.

All I want an airsoft gun to do is shoot BBs.  And work ALL THE TIME.   ;)

I was issued the first TRU's when they came out, the gay ones with the "Army Strong" logo in the center while in country, then on my last tour we got MC a few months before we left, and had already gotten the TRU's minus the logo, as well as plate carriers.  We swapped out for plate carriers 2 months into the tour.  MC's not a "Brand New" issue,  PEO had kicked out some to some Civil Affairs units and Humint Units.  EOD was also sporting some as far back as Feb 09.  Of course the Army's got a crap load of uniforms in service from patrols wearing tank suits to Tan Flight Suits.  Its still as patch worked as it was in 04 where some of us had BDU, some DBU, Some MICH's some ACH's, some with black boots and some with deserts.  I stopped keeping track,  I know the ACU's UC pattern sorta worked, if you're laying on or hiding amongst gravel, but its not about not being seen now,  pretty much who see's who first and who brings the most guns and people.  Camo doesn't amount for much when you have Air Support with thermals and BFT,  I'll already know where you are, and We'll want you to know we're coming.

I think some MultiCam might get a bit harder to find soon, especially the uniforms by Crye.  

I don't understand why you guys think ATACS is so fantastic, considering none of you have seen it in person.  I also don't think any of you are aware of the fact that Multicam is about to outfit entire BDEs in OEF.

Again, keep your posts within the realm of your first hand knowledge.

i cant speak for any1 else but i was 100% aware of the MCs issue to the soldiers of OEF and was my reason for putting the pictures of them up on here. i like to see the great side by side of the MCs next to the woodland...and for the ATACS they just look good but these are a great alternative that are about to become legitimate... :twisted:

I think you are mistaking the TRU for the ACS, which is what has the Army Strong logo centered on the chest.

As for when MC was first fielded, It was around during my OEF tour in 07.  Among the SOF units I traveled with, at certain spots, there was a mix of Crye uniforms and TRUs.  I got the latter.  Keep in mind that what Big Army is getting from PEO Soldier is not at all a representation of the equipment available to all troops.  The fact that it has been issued a NIIN does not mean it will be available to any admin guy with FedLog access.  

As for air assets with "thermals"; something has to keeps the sac warm and dry during those cold Bagram winters!   :lol:

CADPAT was adopted before MARPAT.  That is a fact.

UCP, the pattern fround on the ACU, was derived from MARPAT, in a palette of colors that would be universal for most battlefield environments and allow for a single uniform.

MultiCam was developed by Caleb Crye, with funding from Natick, for the Army's Future Force Warrior program.  This pattern is now being adopted by all soldiers in the OEF theater of operations only, for now.  

There is alot of misinformation in this thread.  The above should clear that up.

Do not post information that you do not have first hand, empirical knowledge of.

Just out of respect, I would recommend removing the Force Recon logo unless you are former Seals.

Other than that, good work.

Thanks, yeah I did my time in the navy and iraq

Your mantra is an excerpt of the Soldiers Creed.  

I was on a DART team in Afghanistan.

Unfuck yourself, ASAP.  

FYI, derekr44:  Force and SEALs are two separate organizations.

I have two pair of Fugitive GTXs.  They are THE boot.  They are being issued now for "use in mountainous terrain".  

The FSN95s were issued to a couple guys I know in the SOF community.  They love them.

I wear the Lowa Vento QC mid in the summer because they breathe extremely well, and are very supportive and comfortable.  Any GTX boot will get a bit too warm in the summer during prolonged time outdoors.  I bought the Lowas because of this.  

I had a pair of Merrel Ventilators.  They rubbed my Achilles tendon area, had poor arch support, and weren't constructed well.  I doubt I will ever buy a pair of Merrels again.

I have a pair of Oakley SI Assault Temperate Weather boots, I got in Bagram, that I wear when uniformity matters.  They are durable.  They have a better sole feel than my issued ICBs or ACBs, but still don't compare to the civilian boots.  

For a civilian hiking boot, you cannot go wrong with either the FSN95 GTX or the Fugitive GTX.  Asolo also has a great warranty.

I've been seeing a lot of people on the field/internet with some form or another of digital camo. I was wanting to do a desert scheme but I was curious to find out if the military used a certain palette because it concealed better or if you could just choose whatever you want as long as it looks cool because it all has the same effect.

Input?

Choose what you like.

UCP, the pattern used for the ACU, is being replaced in OEF by MultiCam because it has been found to be an inferior pattern for multiple environments.

If I were to spend my own money on some digital uniforms, I'd go for the TRU from tru spec, one woodland digital, one desert digital.
