For those dual service folk!
March 1983. 650'. 2/325 jumped on gatun dz for jotc. 4' high grass. Welcome to Panama.
Mine was brand new and shrink wrapped when I boarded the kearsarge.
Just a tip, make sure it’s locked before you climb in or somebody may come by and lift it locking you against the wall.
I hate hats. Hated having to wear them in the Navy, except maybe the watch cap when it kept my ears warm. I still don't wear a hat, but will wear a Carhart watch cap, when the weather dictates.

Because that is how lifers roll. When my roommate and I were etsing, we brought our clearing packets to the brigade retention NCO. He goes into his spiel about reenlisting, yada, yada. I looked at him and said. You people dicked with us for four years. Just sign the paperwork so we can go home.I love wearing hats, and of the military stuff I still have, something I wear all winter long is my black wool watch cap.
One of the hardest transitions for me was going from unit to unit with the Marines, with reconnaissance and to an extent infantry generally they couldn't care less what you wore. When I was with a FSSG unit, our company first sergeant was a real dick and stickler and 100% about uniform Regs, so even in the field he was all up in your face about hands in pockets and bloused boots and proper headgear.

I thought the navy called it penny loafer camp.I went to boot camp at Great Lakes in December 1985. Being from Indiana, and quite used to cold winters, I learned some new things at that time.
Not only was it not permissable to put your hands in your pockets, but you specifically wore your watch cap ABOVE your ears. (With the ear muffs over the ears, fortunately.)

And you can’t put your hands in your pockets but putting your hands in your buddies pockets was cool right?
