Kaleb and I went to the barn to put the shelter in the M885. Was going to paint it to match the truck put I do not want to lose the cat, Maybe I will just paint the ends.

 

[davesgmc]

exactly what does the cat represent? it would be cool in a camo job. maybe paint the cat in brown and the box in tan. that would look pretty cool.

 

[MWMULES]

exactly what does the cat represent? .

I don't Know, It came up at Ft Riley with about 6 others all marked the same. They were all MRLS support shelters so came from an Ord of Arty unit but don't know the exact unit.
