Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed watching. When he was talking about the boots and specified how even navy corpsmen were issued them, I wish I was able to ask him if at that time the corpsmen were issued a different line of gear from most marines? From my time around 2006 (I think the last time I passed through CIF getting anything issued) I was issued the same line of cammies, boots, body armor, etc... as any other grunt. A lot of the stuff they want back when you EAS though, some clothes and boots not, but any CIF issued body armor (helmet included) had to go back, as well as things all sorts of stuff I never used and other things you wouldn't think they want back but they do like your fleece cap or repelling gloves (and they better be issued with the EGA in them, otherwise they wont take them and they will take it out of your last paycheck).... With all that being said though you do get to keep a lot of other stuff that may be battalion or company issued that was most of the time much better than what you would get from CIF. Also I'm not sure if in his day this was true, but a lot of the gear we would carry was personally bought (2 of my med-bags, a plate carrier, camel back, various pouches, etc..), That's cool he got to keep his poncho liner! Thanks again for sharing.

Wow!!You collected a lot of gear without being caught by the Supply Sergeant or the First Sergeant!Nah that's not hard to do.When other units left stuff behind i managed to get them too....

Was he issued that web gear? That type was strictly used by the Army. I'd have thought he would've been issued the Marine 782 gear which is a little different. At any rate, it's cool to hear a vet talk about his gear! I'm always learning!
