Recently, we found an early version of the Marine FSBE MBSS Vest in Best Tactical Duffle Bag with pouches. This version briefly showed up in the early 2000s. But after inspecting, we trust that there is a high possibility that the vest and pouches we found are fake. Our conclusion is based […]

History With the rapidly expanding use of radio, radar and other electronic equipment in World War II, the old Army and Navy systems were increasingly unsuited for the new requirements. Therefore, the Army and Navy introduced the new “Joint Army-Navy Nomenclature System”, also known as “Joint Communications-Electronics Nomenclature System”, or […]
