[Future Snake Eater]

Oh, gotcha. I'd never heard that term before.

Unfortunatley, there really isn't any good place to hang a MICH (or ACH, as it's denoted in this article) anymore. LBEs have been sacrificed in lieu of bodyarmor with all of the pouches being hung off of it. Canteens are also pretty much gone, replaced by CamelBaks hung off the rear of the IBA (individual body armor).

Actually, in the Corps in 1979-82, we never hung our helmets from a pack. They either sat on our "grapes" (our head) or we sat on them on the ground. And, if you removed the liner, they made not only great sinks for washing and shaving but also a decent pot to cook in. ;-)

God bless our troops wherever they may be.
