Cheers for the feedback, I had no idea about the bootlaces, will remember in future (will also trim the side burns)

It is not a chest rig! (it probably just looks like it because it hangs over my beer belly), its a MOLLE FSBE Armour Carrier Vest.

The pics I have seen (especially with that recent Philippines excercise: see the below pics) the Marines are usually crawling with molle pouches.

The MARPAT is from Bulle, and not official, but seems to be the right cut (the knees have inserts for foam padding, which are in the photos).

The helmet cover is official (the official cover is the only one that can actually physically cover my XL PASGT Kevlar) and has the Desert MARPAT on the reverse.
