Squad identification

[benjamin9730]

There needs to some sort of squad identification, I was thinking that we should get different color shemaghs to identify our squads. It would follow the uniform that we are going for and it would add legitimacy to our look.

Maybe alpha tan and black shemagh

Bravo green and black

And then white and black for Charlie

The colors are debatable but I think we should do it

We would wear them contractor style www.afhub.com/images/hottoys/military/PMC07_2.jpg

However I would suggest people Lolly gagging around in buildings wear them full faced

Our scenario is in eastern Europe. Not the Middle East. I don't have a problem with wearing something to identify ourselves but nobody in Europe wears shemaghs. Shemaghs are Middle Eastern and more specifically of Palestinian origin. Shemaghs would be entirely the wrong continent. Besides, I'm gonna dress as a contractor hired by the Serbian militia. Australians nationals don't wear shemaghs.

I would rather not have to buy anything we don't have to, and I was planning on going as an Irish Mercenary. I also don't think we will require team identification, since we will all know each other. That's just my opinion however, I'm open to what the team thinks.

actually shemaghs have been a trend that is catching on amongst all soldiers in the battle field. There are plenty of US soldiers that wear shamaghs while serving over seas. and the use of shamaghs are even more prevalent withing the contractor and mercenary realm. if you want to dress contractor wearing a shemagh will only increase the legitimacy of your loadout. They are not that expensive, around 7 dollars, and you can get any color you want. we need to have something to make ourselves look like a team if y'all all want to dress differently.

basically its not going to hurt your look or cramp your style to wear a shemagh for the benefit of the team.

im just saying this would be a good way for us to stand out and for each squad to be identified.

you guys were looking for a good thing to spend our money on, if no-one is willing to spare 15 dollars then we could buy them and them use them as team equipment.

The scenario is the 1998 Kosovo Battle for Pristina. Shemaghs are just starting to catch on now. Not a dozen years ago.

I got the one in the last pic and that is what I'm running with. Plus A full face mask just in case. I would like to keep my nose. If you know what I mean. I don't know if I am going to run cqb or run in the Dmr class yet. I could carry both but I don't think so. I love reaching out and touching someone but close down and dirty work well for me also. Hell I just might just be that ace in the hole.! and fire the 203 as I go in, and be the meat sheild for the team. Just keep moving forward, right Brent.

just wear whatever a throw a KSUAT patch on somewhere. I am not going to stand for the way people have been acting on this forum.

[benjamin9730]

im just saying it would look really nice and legit if we KSUAT had something that destinguishes us from everyone else. a patch is to subtle. it doesnt have to be a shemagh even though it would look the best with a contractor loadout, it could be something else like tan, green and black caps. idk but we need something that will help KSUAT look good and get noticed and remembered. if you guys all want to look different, no-one is going to say "wow look at how cool those guys look" we would just look like we showed up and dont even know eachother. we need to do something to distinguish ourselves as a team besides the patch.

Looks are superficial. Performance is all that matters.

[benjamin9730]

lololololol anyway if the team doesn't want to express some sort of unity, I will take it upon myself to make sure my squad looks like a team.

[njmt42]

All I'm saying is that "Form Follows Function". As soon as you divert from this you make compromises which weaken the purpose.

One more example of Modernism vs Postmodernism.

[benjamin9730]

I don't think a simple shemagh will cause us to compromise anything
