QA doesn't have a hissy screaming fit over that?

As long as they're engraved, tied in, and inventoried, it's good. They're personal gear. I forgot, but I noticed it again the other night (when my PRC-149 was missing) that there's a small folding knife in our vests w/ our flashlight and radio. Not the best, but yet another thing to hunt/cut stuff with, I guess.

Yeah, after I posted that I realized that as long as it's documented it shouldn't be a problem. Guess I'm just used to people carrying their own to avoid checking out a toolbox.

Hehe...yeah, now that's a different issue. I tend to "find" one on my person when I fly to another island, especially if I'm going to be shutting down.

Use it to cut the cake with your bride when you get married... nothing says love like a K-bar through the cake.

Question regarding sidearms when deployed. Do you have to use what's issued, or can you carry your own?

just out of curiosity..are they switching to the CMU-33 for all airframes? I thought I read somewhere that they were used by Helo crew.
