    Yep. The old "Jungle Ruck" (forget the actual nomenclature) with the external alunimum frame that preceded the ALICE would be a good find.

    This guy has a bunch of older issue stuff. Scroll down and you'll find the "jungle ruck" and the older frames.

    That's it. Fer shure (to quote the Duke). It was really handy for shorter periods; or, so I was told by the really old guys. Haw Haw Haw.

    Sure, just use 88M as an example....that was my MOS.

    Great, now I will get NO respect.

    Oh yeah, welcome to the forums.

    Allow me a comment: The 88Ms have, and had, an extraordinarily perilous msssion especially in the conflicts of today. It takes a lot of guts to do that job.

    No respect? If they shoot it, eat it, wear it or use it someone has to deliver it. No, you transport operators are thumbs up.

    At least I got to drive HET's. The trick was convincing the BC what a HET was supposed to carry, and not waste it on port-a-potties.
