Naww. That's what we had in the late 50's & early 60's.But we didn't wear the leggins.

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.

In boot camp in 58 we wore them everyday.YUCH.
I never got a bucket.

Dude! Are they holdin a gun on a Brotha? Good thing that didn't happen now days!

Good stuff!

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!

Great stuff!
