Any Army Guys Remember These...

You find the weirdest shit on Craigslist for next to nothing…

Locker inspection:

2

Mine was in way worse shape from being “flipped” so many damn times :smiley:

3

I’m not Army, but I’m staring at one similar to yours right now. May I ask what kind of deal you got on this? It’s a sweet find, I wouldn’t mind having one as an ammo or gear locker.

4

I bought four for $300. :smiley:

Of course, I had to drive 200 miles today, round-trip to get 'em, but still.

Not only do they bring back nostalgia, but the competition is pathetic at best:

Tupperware Storage, or Military Wall-Lockers. I’m working up “The Chart” on Man Cave storage solutions.

I just had flashbacks of rolled underwear, and shined boots under my bunk. I miss those days, they made me feel like I was a part of something great.

6

To this day, I still roll my T-Shirts.

ETA: I just need some green wool blankets, and some fatbody sprinkling foot-powder on my head to really get it right.

7

I’m sure there’s a website that caters to your needs.

I’d love to pick up a couple of those as well.

Ugh… The nightmares of dust bunnies

Pic from the seller:

Type “military” into Craigslist and you may just find some wild stuff. I was originally looking for a cheap metal desk for my garage, and stumbled upon the wall lockers.

10

I used my poncho liner in lieu of ole scratchy. Come to think of it, off to Egay I go.

11

:DNo shit they were beat to hell and back;)

12

I remember it all too well.

I had the exact ones pictured in reception battalion. I still live out of those, except they’re made of wood now.

13

ugghhh, I almost forgot about the green wool dust bunnies…

14

Two experiences with them monsters

1-Basic/AIT, having to take all of them out of the bay and down (and back up twice)two flights because some dumbass got caught with fireworks.

2-Frankfurt FRG 3 years later-Our barracks being remodeled on Drake Kaserne, we had to move them to Edwards and up 4 flights for storage. Payback a few months later-Plt Sgt told us to go get them all-supply Sgt. interceps us-we don’t need them any longer-get rid of them. --Sure–payback time! Amazing what happens to them when they fly 50’ onto cobblestone. Priceless though later when the Plt Sgt ask where they are because we need them for extra gear–uh, you need to talk to Sgt. H.

15

Holy Crap!!! I almost winced when I saw that…:eek:

Wow what a blast from… well, what a blast how’s that?

And what the hell are those brown things on top of the lockers?

They look like boots but they couldn’t be.

Boots are supposed to be black!!!

Does that make me sound old? OL

Thanks

16

1- WTF, fireworks?

2- awesome :smiley:

17

No doubt as soon as you clean the bay you would always find those damn green bunnies the next morning :eek:

18

Towards the end of AIT, we had a weekend pass and for some odd reason, he decided to sneak them back–almost had a killin!

19

Luxury… :wink:

I had two wall lockers. One with the pretty “inspection gear” for the first sergeant, and the other stuffed full of deuce gear and contraband. ALICE gear, leftover pyro, C-4 for heating chow, spare barrels for the Pig…

Ah, good times. :smiley:

WHO THE FUCK LEFT THEIR SANTA BAGS ON MY FLOOR?

our wall-lockers were veneered low-density particle board, and they fuckin broke when they got tipped over. it didn’t matter much, we never were allowed to lock them the entire cycle. “you can lock them when you can get them right.” and apparently we never got them right.
