  • I was a LRRP AFO in the 173D Airborne. We avoided grass and open areas. Grass is not cover, it is half assed conealment, and being out in the open was to us like saying, "Hey! I'm over here! Shoot me first!" I did two tours. I did too much, I Saw too much.

    I began with C 2/503D, then was transferred to the "No Deros Alpha, A 2/503D" for seven months of terror before being sent to Battalion Recon for LRRP duty. There's no excitement like that.

  • @vector19X man i know what your saying i was in the marines (scout sniper so i didnt see that much action) but in afghanistan did you know a cpl. dunn thats my dad and when he described the war to me when i first joined it didnt sound pretty. when i got back i found out my best friend had died in an explosion i was depressed for a long time but when i see vets like you it makes me feel happy that im not the only one who lost friends. thank you very much for serving

  • @vector19X Battalion Recon? I'm guessing Marines. Thanks for serving.

  • cool, i like the use of the platoon soundtrack

  • @vector19X hello sir. iam dutch but recently heard of lrrp s and am very impressed just wanna say tho were not from the same country''s thanks and alot of respect to you sir!

  • @FloridaLRRPs Never? Rarely Seen? The Army started issuing this camo to its troops in Vietnam in 1968, and soon after in 1969 the Marine Corps did the same. Granted it wasnt as wide spread as the poplin green jungle fatigues, but I would say by late 1968 you were more likely to see ERDL than tiger stripe.

  • you wernt there man

  • wrong camo? you guys slay me.......... EVERYONE in the video is wearing tigers, 2 ARVN sets, JWS, and a set of Golden Tadpole...... to be exact, For the record ERDL was extensively worn as well and is well documented in 100's of images..........

  • They are wearing ERDL camo. Never....maybe rarely seen that. Mostly tigerstripes.
