[RCS]

I see two things: the flag arm band should not cover the rank and the private stripe should not be on the pocket cover

[HOOKED ON HISTORY]

The pony tail is ah a bit inauthentic. Mohawk yes PT no.

[Aragorn243]

I have to admit the ponytail is what immediately caught my attention. What you can't see is the Beard which while not long is rather heavy but still beyond what might be had in combat. The other things are a bit beyond my expertise but the flags don't look right and neither does some of the equipment they are wearing.

[Ovidio]

During the exercise Strong Resolve ‘95, I saw a lot of ponytails among the Norwegian reservists

[Sunray]

The flag arm band is backwards too. Believe there was a minimum height requirement too. And there's no division patch.

Pee Wee PFC seems to be wearing black jump boots as well.

Would be seen without your weapon if your wearing full kit?

The 101st Abn Regiments used the playing card symbols on their helmets and they don't have the correct para chin straps.

they don't have the correct para chin straps

The near ones do but the far one could just have his up over his head harness. I wore mine up inside most of the time as you don't require it unless standing in the door...and it's a pain when you're knocking around.
