If I'm not mistaken it was recently reprinted in PS magazine. I'll check and see.

Those are pickel suits, not Jungle Fatigues. The creases were perma and the pockets give it away.

Never thought my alma mater would have that in the collection.
Moving this to "Vintage AR's".

Some of you may be way too young to get some of the little "in-jokes" they splashed around in that pamphlet.
For example, on one page a character suggests you "try TM", referring to the technical manual.
This is a joke on the 1960's Transcendental Meditation craze among hippie types, often referred to as "TM".
I'm old school enough to remember some of that shit.

Don't take all of it as Gospel, though.
Some of the info is outdated, as I learned when I started reading some of the threads on this site.

Yes; it is fascinating to see how much has changed and how much has stayed the same.

That's Connie Rod. She was one of the regular cast of PS Monthly. A clever trick to get GI's to read it was to illustrate a good looking woman. She did tone down the innuendo in later years though.
I did once have a 1SG that bore an uncanny resemblance to MSG Half-Mast though.
