The "NO SLACK" Vietnam living history group are always looking for like minded and new members. Our aim to look as realistic in our portrayal of the service men and woman in Vietnam as is possible. We have to remember that we have not earned the right to wear these uniforms, and we are doing this as a tribute to all those that fought and died in the war. "NO breather from work" "NO relief from combat" "NO request for respite" "NO SLACK!!!"
"The What Where When and How...." There are several of us in the group and we are spread throughout the country. We understand that not everybody can make every event that we attend. We would however expect you to make some effort to attend as many events as you can throughout each year. As we are part of Rolling Thunder - The Vietnam Experience there will be a yearly membership fee that covers PLI insurance and memberships with organisations like NARES (National Association of Re-enactment Societies).
"NO SLACK in what we do...." The pictures on the site represent the type of Living History standard we keep ourselves to when we are at shows, there is a lot of time and effort that goes in to these full size dioramas and all members of the group contribute in some form. The key to success is that We build them together and break it down together. All said and done we are a friendly bunch and all get on extremely well with each other, ideas are always welcome and there is no-one in "charge". We work together to enjoy this hobby as a team. If you have any questions,or you would like some more information about NO SLACK VLHG, please contact us.
"Ruck up and move out...." Sadly we do have to insist that the minimum age is 18 years and older. Basic uniform requirements: M1 Helmet with Mitchell pattern cover M56 Webbing – the minimum requirements for webbing would be a pistol belt - two Ammo pouches - two Canteen Carriers with canteens - hot weather Cap (Boonie Hat is fine too) Tropical Combat Boots – Originals are preferable, but reproductions make for a good start. Jungle uniform consisting of pants and shirt – again original is preferable, but a good set of reproductions will do to start. These following can be added to your collection as required at a later date, and the group members will enjoy helping out where possible for you to achieve this. There are numerous items that can be used to add to the overall impression quite frankly too many to list here. Additional uniforms and kit: Rucksack – lightweight, No late Alice Packs. T shirt Towel Bandoliers Poncho Poncho Liner E-Tool Claymore mine Bag Extra canteens First aid pouches. Basic Weapons: M16A1, with either early three prong or later birdcage flash hider. M60 Machine Gun M79 Grenade Launcher.
