• Pardon the dust while the boys rebuild the site.

    The board will be in a state of disarray as I get things sorted out, for a little while at least.

    The new incarnation is using Xenforo as the system software. It is much like what we are used to, with a few differences. I will see about making a FAQ to help point out the differences for the members.

     

    One IMPORTANT difference for all of us old timers is that the 'mail' system is replaced with what are called 'conversations'/

    There is no 'Inbox' or 'Out box' or 'Sent' folders anymore.

    Think of Conversations as private 'threads' or topics that don't exist in a forum, that you start with another member. NOTE: Conversations can include more than one member if you or someone else in the conversaion, likes.
    Takes a little getting used to but I am sure you all can get a hang of it.

     

    Only a slightly modified default default Xenforo style is available for now. Once the new SAG style is ready it will be available.

    All existing users should be able to login with their usernames and passwords once the site goes up.

     

    If anyone has difficulties logging in please contact me at sixthvanguard@gmail.com.

     

    Thank you for your support and patience. I know it has been a loooong road.

    And, following the incorporation of this pack system and other field gear components at the same time, we refer to all of this field gear as 782 gear because of the form number we had to sign when all of it was issued... Semper Fi, Mac...

    Question for the USMC experts

    The M1941 Pack System was designed to be able to have several different configurations, depending upon the mission. Short answer is that, in combat, the pack and suspenders would not be rigged as you have described in your question. See http://www.ww2gyrene.org/782GEAR.htm for the long answer...
