30 April 2021 Garand Picture of the Day

[Mark in Rochester]

Jim, I think the picture you refer to is a Marine in the Pacific. Seems like he was against a tree if memory serves. Not sure if it was the same as I don't remember the wing nut.

There coats seem to heavy for the pacific

I can't remember where or what, I do remember one that was a basic spike with some sort of wingnut. Too many shadows in my brain...

the ole "field inspection of all your gear laid out pretty on a poncho for some officer to walk by and maybe give his opinion on..." Still haven't retired that practice...nor the one where you haul all your gear out of the barracks because said officer is too lazy to enter the room.

field inspection of all your gear

Worse for us because of the rain here. We'd have it all laid out and the rain would start...
