  • The truth behind "782 gear" terminology?

    Marine field gear is referred to as 782 gear because the Federal Stock Number (FSN now modified to National Stock Number(NSN)) originally had a series of 782 in each item. ie FSN 8465-782-1022

    was for cartridge belt, FSN 8465-782-1156 was a canteen. NSN added a country code so NSN was 8465-00-782-1022 was for cartridge belt. No question, just to set the record straight, for what it's worth. 14 years in Marine Supply, leave a comment for the points if you desire.

  • Why do you bother to answer a question if you really don't have a clue?

    I seems that a lot of the posters on here get their info from video games, pop stars, and biased propaganda and then waste every-ones time with BS, wrong info, or just annoying crap that highlights their ignorance. If you have a legitimate contribution, please share, if not, go back to "Call of Duty" and quit bothering people who are really interested in this site. Thanks.
