[Milsurplus] "BC means Basic Component"

[Daniel Jones]

Well pardon the intrusion but  I was the only one that provided an official government document. I also mentioned it was from a later date,  So there is that. 

I was just providing input which I only do on occasion when I feel like there is some use to what I am providing.  
 
But everyone go ahead and continue saying this or that or other input is wrong with nothing official I’m sure it’s all true.
