I do not have the answer to that! It likely does mean something of that sort, but unless I can give you correct information, I'll resort to the "I dunno", :shrugs: rather than guess at it. So, further research needed. Cheers

My lady calls the V100 "the Mistress". She says the V has to be a girl because she took so long to get ready, everything had to be just right, has so many accessories, and I spend so much time with her. We are fortunate that both seem to get along with our "others". I will gladly take you up...

Glad to be of some help. I carry a digital camera with me most of the time these days, for just such an opportunity as recording that M1028. My phone takes creditable pictures too. By the way, love the car in your avatar. [thumbzup] Cheers

Glad to help! I just wish I had taken more pictures back then, but to a young Marine of limited resources (I was making something like $4600 a year in 1979), film and developing were expensive. So, sorry, no pictures of vile green cars. The green was quite similar to FS 24533, which is the...

That is a cool little van. :) It is in the museum on Camp Pendleton. I drove similarly marked Dodge vans in the late 70s-80s, but they weren't nearly as cool. Cheers

The M1009 on PTA was in 383, all of the CUCVs that I saw in my time were either 383, or a few overall green ones (the 383 camo green), but those were mostly around the air wing. The white, and other civilian coloured, trucks were all your basic el-strippo versions, the bigger ones usually had...

A lot of flight line vehicles on air bases, and utility/construction types, were painted yellow, with black markings. Cheers

OD, it was an honour. On CUCV's, no on MERDEC, all arrived new in 383 (green/black/brown) camo. The first one I saw was an M1009 on the Pohakuloa Training Area in Hawaii in mid-late 1984. I actually have a picture (rather poor quality, unfortunately) of that one, sitting with a Winter Verdant...

When I was stationed in Norway in 1980 with the US Marines, all of our vehicles were painted Winter Verdant year round. During the snowy times, we painted roughly 50% of our vehicles with each Snow scheme. This meant that the green on half the trucks got painted out with water-soluble white...
