Letterman style 'Top Ten' lists were always popular with the pilots and crews of Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron-261. During 22D Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) workups at Fort AP Hill, Virginia, HMM-261 aircrews poked fun at the Marine Special Operations Company (MSOC) Marines for wearing fanny packs. On the Air Combat Element (ACE) 'Top Ten Things MSOC Marines carry in their Fanny Packs' listed as No. 1 was 'Juice boxes and animal crackers'. The MSOC responded in-kind with their own humorous list of items they carried in their 'nut-rucks.' The most stinging item to the ACE on the MSOC list: 'The phone number for Task Force-160,' Also known as the Army's Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR). This was a thinly veiled stab at the ACE. The listing of this item was funny, however it reveals the relationship the ACE had with MSOC, especially once deployed with the MEU.2.
