'58 pattern webbing has got to be the worst equipment carrying system ever.
Ammo Pouches at the front? Blisters on thighs, and broken ribs when somebody shouts "CONTACT!! "
Gains about 5lb when it rains.
Large pack that ain't. Remember how to put it on? Hook it on and thow it backwards over your head- very tactical.
Oh, and you can stuff that NBC suit in a bumroll designed to hold a poncho- which is still in there too, no probs.
Looked quite smart when blocked out with cardboard in a locker layout- Wonder how it ever got approved?
However, worse than the webbing- the tin-pot helmet. Elastic 'comforter' designed to push your hair back into your scalp, and a big rivet in the middle, in case you ever got too comfortable.
On the other hand, I quite liked KF shirts, and resisted OGs as long as I could.
