About that tablecloth…

SFC Dunlap mentioned the tablecloth I use when making ration videos:  great table cloth (early G-12 cargo canopy twill) Actually… That's a poncho liner.  In fact, I've had that poncho liner since 1982.

Actually…

That's a poncho liner. 

In fact, I've had that poncho liner since 1982. It was a gift from a friend. Whose father used that poncho liner in Vietnam. 

It's been washed so many  times over the years that the dyes used to print the camouflage pattern have completely faded, and the nylon batting inside has pretty much dissolved. 

Still, it's just perfect for curling up with on a warm night, when you don't really want a blanket, but want something covering you.

    One of my classmates in OCS slept on top of his covers using a poncho liner cover. He lost it one night when one of the TAC Officers stole it from him while he slept. He had it given back to him when he graduated.

    Possibly the finest piece of equipment ever developed by the Army.
