I know what they supposedly are. What I want to know is when did they get to be called that and where it came from.
You really do want an avatar don't you?

Sorry, I guess I should have proof read my post LOL. BII is just what was mentioned in one of the above posts, for my PVS14s, its the rhino mount and the attaching arm. The ICOM Radio and compass are two separate things, sorry for the confusion.

I hear ya KTEK....
Reaper,
Damn Sir, I have seen pics of your MLCS elsewhere on the site, but I didn't know you carried all that in it! That was the kind of info I was looking for when I started this thread. Thank you.
After reading that, I have to ask, what are you carrying on your person/1st line? Do you use a multi-tool?

A lot of that was just transferred over from my old patrolling harness, so once I got into an environment, I might pare it down. If you dumped yours, you might find you carry more than you realize. Some of my list may remind you of something you forgot.
My 1st line list would be on my thread also in the PG forum here obscurely entitled "1st Line Gear", or something to that effect.
HTH, good luck.
