Oneshotonepill Posted July 12, 2018 Share Posted July 12, 2018 What gear, that you were issued, can you not live without as a civilian. My number one is my poncho liner. In fact, both of my daughters have their own and will not sleep with a regular blanket. I keep an E-tool in the back of my POV. I use a Marine Assault pack for day trips and a large Alice pack for extended excursions. And I have a collection of boonie covers (hats for you fly boys.) There's more, but that's what comes to mind right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aomagrat Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I still use my USN issued raincoat, watch cap and gloves, been retired almost 16 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar_ml Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 I kept my goretex coat when I got out. I went to a pawn shop and bought a ratty one to turn in. I wish that I had kept the pants too, but in 4 years of service I only wore them once when my CO thought I looked like I was cold. I also love the Scepter NATO fuel cans, I have 5 of them at this point (4 bought surplus, one bought new from Canada that's black) as they are the only ones that are really safe to put inside a vehicle cabin with you (they are aviation approved) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fyrtwuck Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 I still have most of my gear. Supply didn’t want to mess with the paperwork when I left. I still have an e-tool, a medium and large Alice pack. I also have a signal strobe and an old folding machete from a survival kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

syntaxerrorsix Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 All of my "civilian" gear is better than my issue gear. I think the only thing I use anymore is my duffel bag (to put my good backpack in when flying) a couple of web belts, an old ALICE pack full of roofing materials and a poncho liner.

DWARREN123 Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I have a few things but hardly ever use them. The training, now that is another story! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
