As most of you are aware
the committee have been looking
to improve uniform and equipment
standards throughout RT.
Over the last few months
we have been working very hard
on a uniform and equipment
manual. A kit Bible if you like.
The manual covers all you need
to know about US uniforms,
insignia, boots, headgear,
webbing as well as personal
items such as sunglasses and dog
tags. Its basically the only
guide you will ever need.
The manual is FREE to all
RT members.
CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD
Contrary
to our website, our RT manual is
limited by its number of
pages,
so we still encourage our
members and anyone else
interested in
the Vietnam war to
visit our " THE LOOK"
pages where you will
find
more article and more
photos on how to get it right.

Research
who you are portraying and the unit, there
is so much information
available today that you have no excuse to get it wrong!
Don't
build your look from Hollywood movies
but from real
photographs and combat footage.
Take pride in
what you are doing so Veterans can be proud of our
work.
Don't
let your mates and the society down by being slack!
The
information published is to our
best knowledge and may be
altered if new information
is
uncovered.
