COL Jack,
Were you involved in the 1986 "New Long Range Field Ration Test"? We wandered around the Burlington area for a month in November, listened to the vulcans at GE, and were also field testing some pretty powerful laptops, hmmm, was it really a rations test? Hmmmmmm...
Ah yes, Tac vests, Lowe packs, eco-tats, goretex ponchos, polypro, goretex rain gear --- Natick had some cool stuff, and all the S-4 pogues had it before the teams that didn't get on the tests.
