I don't mind, save for weapons don't normally carry the dash while as a weapons delivery system does as in a B-52 carries Mk 84 and Mk 82 Mk 117 and B 83 and B61 weapons.

My guys! VF-31 is the only Navy fighter squadron to achieve aerial victories in three wars – World War II, the Korean War and Vietnam.
Transitioned to several F-14 and AF-18 models for all Gulf War/MidEast conflicts.
BuNo 157307/VF-31# 106 is enshrined @ NASM Dulles Facility.

Lt Bill John and Cdr Sam Flynn.

While I was doing some research about 23rd NOHED SF Brigade Casualities withing 1st month of Iran Iraq war, I came across this photo:

it shows a member of Unit, Master Sergeant Jafar Rezaiee (KIA Sep 29, 1980 - Schalamcheh) onboard an IIAF Plane #5-09 ... an interesting S/N i have never seen before. Judging by color and damages visible, alondside his service record, photo is taken in early 1960's and during his trainings.

You are correct(ish). It should read M117. The M117 was not a Mark 117. It was M117. I goofed by putting the dash in there.
