In Vietnam, some pilots brought their own sidearms and some crewmen brought their own survival long guns (shotguns and rifles). Some of it may have been authorized, some of it probably not; one must remember that WWII veterans (Generals LeMay, Westmoreland, Abrams, etc.) still ran the programs in that war, and the old habits from WWII was probably carried over into the Vietnam War.

But today's 21st century military personnel are most likely NOT authorized such activities; unless specifically authorized to do so (like aircrews, and such).

During the Vietnam War, servicemen were allowed to bring home war souvenirs: captured enemy pistols (K54), carbines (SKS), NVA pith helmets, NVA pistol belts, bayonets, NVA belt buckles, etc. Those actions might not be authorized today.
