American dress code

Kermit · 2009-02-17T23:07:30Z

Considering that the Limeys are going to do what they always do - get uptight about boots, blanco and badges, the Yanks are going to stay aloof from that and go with one simple rule. If it works, use it - so the list below is just a suggestion - not an order! Headwear: Helmets are recommended, purely due to the nature of the site, as there's a hell of a lot of stuff in there to bang your head on. If helmets aren't your thing, there is always the old Jeep cap. Helmet or not - it's your head, so it's your choice! Clothing: Anything goes - from Wools to M43's and everything in between. The only thing to say is that the site is damp, so wool (which retains warmth even when damp) does have the slight edge over cotton. Insignia: CIC, in the main, tended to avoid too much in the way of insignia. Officers would normally wear their rank insignia, but enlisted men tended to use officers "US" collar insignia. I for one, will only be going for the Officers bars - why? pure laziness Boots: Corcorans, roughouts, double-buckles. As long as they're comfy they'll do the job. One benefit of the yank boots is that the rubber soles makes 'em good for creeping around silently - something you cant say about brit or german hobnailed boots! Webbing: Keep it light. The less you carry, the less there is to get in the way. Don't forget the ammo bags if you want to carry a vast quantity of pyro. If you want to pack some spare bits and pieces and leave them in the HQ, then Musette bags and the like are the way to go. Weapons: The site has a strict 330FPS limit, so please be aware of it. Thompsons, as ever, will rule the roost for the Yanks but the odd Garand or BAR would be useful for dominating the longer tunnels. Pistols are worth carrying at UCAP (particularly if you're using an M1 or a BAR as a primary weapon) so if you have a 1911, pack it. Torches: You're going to need one. Luckily, US right-angle torches are cheap, available, and effective (far more effective than the German flashlights, that's for sure!) None of the above is considered to be an Order! Any suggestions my fellow CIC'ers?
