The leggings were what caused me to question the date, I thought they were done away with by '43. Maybe the Navy kept using them for a while after the Army dumped 'em.

Hump, I think after seeing your grandfather wearing a bucket on his head it kind of explains some of your strange conduct from time to time!

We don't need no stinkin gun safety!

No live rounds allowed off the range right?

Now that bayonet could put an eye out!
