Been there, done that! 11b From 73 - 79. Earlier years used the Spaghetti straps. Used them in the 90s to secure a bail out bag as a pilot. This was standard issue at Bragg in the 70s and made many jumps with this ****. Even though we were issued this in Alaska, we used the jungle ruck.
The poncho came. I'm not sure I remember how to roll it up. I rolled it up last night and it's about 16 inches wide and about 4 inches around. Seems to me it should be about 10-12 inches wide and 6 inches around. Been over 20 years since I rolled on up. I still have to find my shovel and bayonet.

That's the one...longer than that since I saw mine. I can still remember the smell though. I sure spent a lot of time under one, damp the whole time.
