Aviation living it up lol. I had coffee a few times in the field but not often I drank it, and I did have pogey bait but probably not as much as Viggen.

Aviations cool and all. but field artillery teaches you how to hustle :biggrin: in my later years was doing stuff like trading SEABees tubs of Baskin Robbins ice cream for an 8 foot gazebo in Afghanistan.

deployments, experiences may vary.

pogey bait? thats cute

damn if there was always abunch of these bad boys left after every field problem. and never saw a one turned in to the DFAC or TISA (the food warehouse) like the rest of the excess rations...........

GKABS, at least in my time (which only wrapped up a few years ago) in you couldnt throw a rock without hitting a couple of these. 3 on every MKT (field kitchen) and most command sections (like would be using your track) had a dozen, along with better folding tables like you get at a store. i used them more for hand wash stations (with the same type juice jug as the coffee was in), but you usually didnt have to look to hard to find one. dimensions were around 2ft wide, 4 ft long and maybe 3 3/4 ft tall (0.6096 x 1.2192 x 1.143 meters according to google)

as to juice jug dimensions, off of memory i could fit at least two under that table with 6 to 8 inches to spare in back. three on top scrunched together. better measurements than that and id have to google a GSA catalog. shapes pretty spot on, need two grooves on each side if you want to be perfect (the latches fit in the grooves, keeps em from breaking while being transported on thier sides). but id be shocked if folks looked that close.

and your choice of green, brown or tan for colors. officers tagged to do inventories preferred them to be grouped by color, we grouped by which ones were serviceable, which got stripped for parts and which were absolute junk but still on the books. unless we only had one MKT, pretty much all our gear was sorted like that (the best trailer, second best, then the ones with a whole bunch of stuff on order)

im both laughing and happy, getting some 92 Golf (Army cook) toys in game. even if its just a juice jug in a flight sim :rofl:

ok so my memory might be a little hazy, even as inexact as i gave dimensions

+GKABS · June 15, 2021

Nah, the important thing I got it. Thanks. :wink:

+GKABS · June 15, 2021

Almost there I just need to add some shadow to the texture and we are home free.

+daddyairplanes · June 16, 2021

im sorry, ill rivet count here

the labels are white labels with black lettering, usually all caps going across. basically its a sticker going across an pad on the front. once the factory given sticker wears off, we just use cheap white labels. it all comes off after one or two washings anyhow, hence the cheaper ones more frequently.

but the factory labels do look nicer. much like the very first pic i posted of them last page
