    They use to remove the stacking swivel or else tape it up as it can make noise -

    Besides removing the sling swivel or else put tape around it, the fabric sling hook also had tape around it too. Heard this from my
    old First Sgt

    A good portrayal of everything being shared be it a cig or food, looks like they have used a hexamine cube for lighting but the photographer has used the flash to get the pic as I doubt a cube would produce that much light!.
    They in a bunker or in a ship!

    At first I thought it might be a troopship but the walls look concrete and the troops look dirty and exhausted.
    Then I found this picture of a Germanicon bunker.
