Can anyone tell me the model of uniform they're wearing?
Mail call.....Frank
Bloused boots -- remember those little green bungee cords? You also used them to fasten your rolled poncho to your pistol belt.
Yep, remember them.

Did/douse the bloused pants serve any practical purpose? I've always wondered.
From AR15 .com
"Thought I was all cool in Vietnam and went around in the woods with my trousers unbloused until a 6" stinging centipede crawled up my left leg one night on LP. Stung the **** out of me three times and I had to lie there and take it. Never left the wire unbloused again. Unless you went in too deep it also helped keep the leeches out."
