You're certainly a very dedicated reenactor to buy such a detailed kit! I'm no soldier, so I can't give you advice on specifics, but 2 things:

1. Don't wear insignia that you haven't earned. That means your captain rank and ranger patch for example. This is out of respect for those who have rightfully earned the privilege of wearing them.
2. Desert and Woodland don't match very well... You should pick one color scheme and stick with it.

Are you an airsofter? What model M16A3 do you have (which company made it?)?

Thx fot your answer!
I've command my own name tape and I will cut off patch for only 3rd Infantry divison with no rank or PFC.
I've seen some picture with bi color soldier's suit but there was much DCU than woodland, soon new pics with my DCU suit and body armor woodland.

I'm not a real airsofter, it's not an AEG just hold up gun from WELL, good thing but I've repainted plastic part (seach in metal on real gun) with a metal burn paint.
