Yup, I am bringing the MKT and the Deuce out.

I am getting off easy for a change with the MKT, I just need to bake potatoes and do some breakfast stuff, this should be a snap :)

exactly what does the cat represent? it would be cool in a camo job. maybe paint the cat in brown and the box in tan. that would look pretty cool.

I don't Know, It came up at Ft Riley with about 6 others all marked the same. They were all MRLS support shelters so came from an Ord of Arty unit but don't know the exact unit.
