Vietnam equipment discussion

[Jw2530]

I'm 26 and I've taken an interest in vietnam gear. I have built out a few different sets of suspenders with pistol belts but pouches etc. Any tips from anyone who has served using this type of gear for how to properly set things up as it would have been done back would be greatly appreciated. Heck even a story or two would be cool and as always welcome home and thank you for your service

A lot of that was used for a long time past Vietnam

Yes ik they used it well past vietnam almost all of the equipment I have is ranging between 1961 and 1971 besides a few items that are harder to source looking for info about how it was used between 1955 and 1975 mainly

I served in the 80's and we still had Vietnam era gear and were issued the new M16A2. I preferred the A1's much more

I was in Battalion from 96-01 and we had plenty of Vietnam era gear.
