Green followers?

Simple question.

when did the military start using the green followers?

from what I've always heard.. early 1990's..

rough estimate.. dont know how specific of a date you're looking for :)


maybe St. patrick's day :D?

I just bought 3 Colt preban 30 round mags from Bonaduce and I was hoping that they would be of the Vietman era. I thought the green followers were a rather new invention! I have an orginal M16 mag pouch that has the flaps that cover the mags and I wanted mags from the same era. But, these will do!

The Green Followers (GFs) were first seen in Sanchez magazines in 1988, and became standard issue for all M16 magazines in 1992. ;)
