In those days, we had Spc 4, 5, 6 and a few 7s. Which was really confusing because we had some E-5 etc who were "hard stripers" and some who were specilist...but paid the same for the E-Rank. <br />Then, when I think about it now...it made sense....like modern times when we would all end up lumped into the same training and we'd have an E-7 cook put in charge...who was too dumb to do anything but cook...and couldn't even do that well. <br />In the old days, if a Spc 5 was working with us, and an E-4 coporal was there, the coporal was in charge. <br />too confusing to explain in this space.CI-Roller Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10850472230525879415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5991024443488082637.post-52272955786139111852010-05-04T23:05:25.244-05:002010-05-04T23:05:25.244-05:00@ CI-Roller Dude: What color were your nametapes o...@ CI-Roller Dude: What color were your nametapes on the OD greens? My first uniform was the green "utility" uniform (blouse/shirt tucked in, I think) with BDU cap. I think the nametapes were black letters on green, but can't find a photo to validate.<br /><br />@ Anonymous: Were the junglies tiger-stripe or solid-color?
