M1951 pants are no longer available in sizer larger than medium now. The ones I got a few years ago seem to rip out in the crotch easy too, even though they were NOS..... and the wool trousers we had .. Brand new ones were Itchy, itchy, itchy !!!!

yep, I was referring to M1951's. My Bn was still issuing them in the late 70's-early 80's .. One time got a new/unissued pair , was very itchy on any exposed skin.. I had a habit of using them like pajamas at bedtime during early spring and late fall field operations, when it was too warm to wear them as intended purpose, when I just needed to throw on something quick and warm to go outside to grab something etc.

when i was with armor we didn't have the luxury of netting for our trucks, but then again, we were moving every couple days anyway .. Instead, it was mud on the headlights, hoods up, door windows down, and whatever vegetation we found to break up the outline.. Even if it was pouring

I can't help but think there's a big problem when the convoy's hook has its hood up on the side of the road!

Were you stationed in Germany in the early 70's?

Are there extra headlights on that deuce in the first picture, or is that a camera reflection of some kind?
