In the Marine Corps we had what was called a SCAMP Platoon. It stood for "Sensor Control and Management Platoon" the motto was "In God we Trust, all others we Monitor".

Check the Charlotte NC Craigslist. There's a guy who has two in the crate.

It's easier to acquire a set of M-1022 Ground Mobilizers and tow it. We had numerous containers like this that contained our AN/TYQ-23 Tactical Air Operations Modules and no way would they fit in the bed of a truck and were too costly to risk dropping.

Left side of tailgate held in place with strong magnets. Small light tapped into tail lights. Less than $5 and no invasive drilling. If someone steals the tag oh well.

Here's one painted after the Desert Combat Uniform (DCU) pattern or 3 Color Desert commonly seen after Desert Storm in Somalia. The DCU is still worn in CentCom theatre by some SF units and Coalition Forces.

I picked up a spanking new one at a recent gun show for $18 plus the $7 to get in the show, no shipping.

That's a Center of Balance or C/B marking. It was required for movement by air. That marking would be about the center of balance for a CUCV. Normally units would use masking tape to mark the "CB" as it would likely move a few inches from embarkation to retrograde depending on the cargo load...

Between 1984-1986 I doubt there was a Harbor Freight Chinese Junk Shop in the U.S. We've become so use to running to these swill shops like Wal-Mart what would society do without them? "Support the Chinese Red Army, Shop Wal-Mart and Harbor Freight".

Did the CUCV's come with an ACC position on the ignition? With no lighter I'm thinking not, I just can't remember.

I remember those **** things. In boot camp (Parris Island 1981) the DI's could pack a whole Platoon in one. They must have told the driver to slam on the brakes at every stop and take corners as fast as possible. A former DI I knew told me he could get his entire Platoon in one and once he got...

Keeps prying eyes out of the cab and helps with the nasty sun here in NC. I'm doing mine soon.

I'm not one for doing things that are "correct" to the letter. Do what you want and never look back. I put the "Official use only" on mine and have never had a negative comment. 99% of people don't know the **** difference anyways.

Cable lock all the way on AR platform rifles. Once it's through the magazine weld and ejection port no punks getting it. I'd never leave a rifle unattended for long anyways.

Ahh yes, that terrain looks familiar. Note the tail light out on the water bull. So typical of MC gear, rode hard and put away beaten.

In Mass anything is possible. I was born, raised and stationed there for a while in the service. That's why I live in NC now. Good luck with the tax and political crap up there it's too much for me to deal with.

The MaxAxe is usually $200+ and is sold in a yellow or red in the civilian market. $125 is a crazy good price especially for a Mil issue OD green one.

The whole design of the jacket never made sense to me. Wearing an OTV (Outer Tactical Vest there's no need for that mandarin collar. Most Soldiers today opt for the combat shirt over the ACU jacket. I taught Combat Water Survival for 4 years and one of the techniques the Marines had to master...

That's why I stayed single. If I want something I buy it. Life's far too short to do without anything. Your in the ground longer than your up here.

Why does "when it sounds too good to be true" come to mind?

Could have been a "Road Master" as well. In the Marines these guys were in charge of enforcing all tactical vehicle rules. They were a pain in the n*ts. They would pull you over and count the number of Marines in the back, ensure you had a signed letter from the CO allowing you to transport beer...
