Super,
The only folks actually issued a survival or e&e kit in the military are flight crews and Special Ops folks. The rationale (no matter how stupid) that they are the only ones that could possibly be stranded away from civilization or behind lines.
Air crews wear a standardized vest that is their survival kit, I do not however know the current contents as I know the Army has just changed over to the AIRSAVE system, and I hear the Air Force is changing uniforms altogether to something resembling a "Power Ranger" Uniform! LOL! ;-)
As for us in the EOD community, we get these kits from TSSI whenever we are going for a Spec Ops support mission http://commerce.tacsurv.com/CommercePort...RootCategory=SO
And the coast guard guys don't like to be reminded that they are actually employees of the Department of Transportation!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone,
Mike
