I recently purchased a M932A2 from GL. I picked it up from Hill AFB thinking it was a typical Army rig. When I got it to the yard I soon found out that it was in fact USAF from Mtn. Home AFB in Idaho. Had a stack of paperwork in an envelope with a 3' floppy disc. The paper work let me know where...
