[ARC5] Re: [Milsurplus] Speaking of Spares Boxes

Groups,

I have always been intrigued by the fact that Navy "spares" boxes are 
so well built,either of wood or steel and the fact that provision for a 
lock  and handles on even the smallest boxes was a requirement.Army 
"spares" boxes make more sense to me with the felt lining,snug fit, and 
simple snap hasp and no resistors and caps in paper envelopes.Of 
course,a Navy has to carry everything due to its logistical situation 
and an Army on land only has to send a truck...
 I would very much like to be enlightened!
