Another thing about the pictures. They are wearing the then new BDUs, but still have the old M1 steel pot helmet.

Typical for stateside units aside from 82nd in the first half of the 80’s. We didn’t get K-pots at Ft Polk until late summer ‘87.

Ya, they went to Germany first. I remember, we didn’t like them at first. You couldn’t carry water or shave in them.
