For me it would have to be the old M163 SP Vulcan Air Defense Artillery Gatling gun. It was supposed to be used to shoot down aircraft (jets), however after three long years of manning this piece of equipment I came to believe that the only way you could actually bring down an enemy fighter jet was if the pilot saw you firing at him and he crashed while laughing his ass off at you. Please, lets not have any comments about 2nd Lieutenants, that one is just a given. Just kidding, you butter bars know I love ya.

I found my brown BVDs to be lacking in the long-term reliability/durability dept. I had to buy 2 dozen new pairs just to have 14 pairs by the time I hit the 6 month mark. At which point I abandoned the brown underwear altogether in favor of civilian briefs.

The shelter half once I got to my unit. As a HMMWV mechanic, I was always in a unit that had tents and the trucks to haul them with.

SGT Tim Fridley - I do remember those...they were de rigeur at my very first duty station (Camp Red Cloud, ROK), and the young SGT who arrived about 4 months into my year and showed up in the new grays got sharply spoken to by the 1SG. Uniformity!

Got to my next place, and sent to UCS to buy grays, and also unit-wide T-shirts. Unit T's M-W-F, gray T's T-Th. Between not wanting to do laundry daily or reek every morning after Tuesday, I bought 3 unit and 2 gray T's. Fresh PT T-shirt every day FTW...

The old school LBV. Many of you won't know what this is and be glad you don't. It was worthless.

What are you talking about? Every officer I ever had loved those things especially on range day. It was an amazing place to stash their candy and phone and everything else they need except of course their magazines.
