Awesome! I love the MERDC camo. It's like living back in the 80's. If they are smart (they probably are because they copied the deuce in the first place) they won't copy the FMTV trucks to replace the copied deuces.

Usually if you have some sort of holding of a "clearance" this slows things down because it automatically pulls a flag on your name when the government does searches and background checks on you from a federal level.
