I would like to introduce myself. My name is Mac and I am a former Marine from the Desert Storm era. I have lurked here from time to time and have now decided to purchase a M1009 CUCV....if I locate a good one in time!!! Having spent plenty of time in the M1009 and M1008 in the USMC in the late 80s and early 90s, I really want to purchase one and finish it out just like the ones I remember to include the camo paint and USMC numbers.

I was pointed to this site some time back by a buddy who is a member and owns a 2.5 Ton and a 5 ton. He advised there is no better place to get info on MVs than here.....from what I have seen and read he is correct.

Thanks for having me,
MAC

Welcome aboard. You're right, there is not a better place for info.

The Army says, "Hooah"
The Marines say, "Oorah" The meaning of 'Oorah' traced back to its roots
The Navy says, "What the ****???"
Let me clarify what the Navy says. Green side Navy/FMF types say "Oorah" and our beloved SPECOPS guys say "Hooyah"
And the US Air Forces says "huh?" LOL, just kidding USAF

Welcome aboard and Semper Fi brother.

I like your plans for the 1009 markings. Do you know how the markings are supposed to go on the camo Marine 1009, or have any pictures? I want to redo mine, but it has been too long since I saw one, I don't recall how they were marked.

Cheers
