Re: Period uniform question
Don't foget the M-151's were not taken out of service (in the Corps) until 1989. So, any Uniform up until that time is "period correct".

The same can be said for the Army National Guard.acudanut wrote:Don't foget the M-151's were not taken out of service (in the Corps) until 1989. So, any Uniform up until that time is "period correct".

Re: Period uniform question
Dang it just occured to me....The M-151's were in Service for almost 30 years. I think the Hummer might break that record.
Re: Period uniform question
the Corps still has some m-151's in service, and the occasional one still turns up on GL (about 5 this year that i noticed) coming out of the army.... The clock is still ticking on total service time, 1959 to date !

Re: Period uniform question
i know of one A2 and trailer still in use today by a NG unit based in sacramento. they also have a 1966 A1 they are waiting to trash, with a gama goat engine sitting in the back of the 151 where the rear seat used to be.

Re: Period uniform question
Are they still using them in the FAV roll? Thought they finally phased them out a couple of years ago...moose53 wrote:the Corps still has some m-151's in service, and the occasional one still turns up on GL (about 5 this year that i noticed) coming out of the army....

Re: Period uniform question
last thing i saw published was that a number of the fav type a2's were retained since nothing else they had fit in an Osprey....

Re: Period uniform question
Alright. Wonder about that little G838 like creature that they were looking at. I think it was seabee that posted a youtube video of them in action four wheel steering and all.moose53 wrote:last thing i saw published was that a number of the fav type a2's were retained since nothing else they had fit in an Osprey....

Re: Period uniform question
I think it was Growler they went to for the mutt replacement, but the cost was ridiculous....

Re: Period uniform question
Guys....Guys...Guys...... Let's stay focused here. 1978-1980. God knows I appreciate all of your service to our country, but let's narrow down the perimeter here for a moment.
AND, one of my assignments at the Sheriff's Office is the DRMO screener/POC. Just a few days ago, 2 Mighty-Mites came up on the screen!! I am willing to bet those were in the back of a warehouse somewhere, with a ton of crap piled on top of them, and someone finally discovered two vehicles underneath it all.

Re: Period uniform question
It is interesting to observe how threads will wonder but it is also the nature of the beast. Think Bill's question was answered in the first two pages of this thread.
