Marines got ERDL first and faster than Army in VN. But both converted as fast as they could.
It was a surplus store heydey, big piles of slant pocket OG109, cheap, cheap, in the late 60s, early 70's.
I still have some ERDL, both lowland and highland variants. (Sadly outgrown from my college size)
I wish I still had some of the slant pocket OG 107 "Jungle", but it was not a super color nor used by choice.
