We had boonie hats, later camo fatigues....I was a Recon Plt. Leader, (after a rifle platoon leader) and we had to obtain ours by outside the supply line sources for the cammies which weren't standard at the time. I don't know why, they were really helpful.

There were two types of boonie hats...the first was OD and had a narrower brim, not all that narrow, but less than the Cammie one we had later on (and which I still have an example of.) It's brim is a lot bigger and great for keeping the rain off. As I recall, we all had them. And wore them on operations, which rifle platoons wore helmets. Go figure.

I got rid of the Car 15 very early in my tour. It was cool looking, but not very accurate. The only time I fired it in duress, it didn't malfunction...one magazine.
