(I have included all of the pages of the first release of this standard - specific to the Leg Holster Kit and several on the vest (SV-2 which the army was using in the early 60s) and the raft kit from a copy my friend sent me in an Appendix.

I have included many new color photos and two black and white photos from TM 55-8465-206-13, Organizational and DS Maintenance Manual for Survival Kits, Army Aircraft, dated December 1966, Change-1, which I finally was able to track down and obtain this year. I was only recently able to get my stuff out of storage and complete my book on the Leg Holster Survival Kit, Individual, Lightweight Army. At which time - after a great deal of age discrimination - and the decline of the Defense budget - I retired. So I actively sought employment until January 2015.

I was forced into retirement in November 2011, after a 22 year career in DOD software development. Greetings, its been a long time since I last posted.
