Directionals work with key off.

I was out in the garage checking out my M1028 that I got last week and I noticed that the directionals work without the key in the on position. Checked my other M1028 and it does the same thing.
Is this normal? If so what was the reason behind it?

Both my M1009's do it to, and I've read on here that this seems to be standard for CUCV's. I have no idea what the logic behind this would be.

I am sure it has to do with the integration of the blackout lights.

Turn off the service light switch and they wont.
