Anybody interested in the KM Nato Pod.

I got this from KM.

Tried to get a couple for our team. They sent this response. It will be a long time before we get a couple I think.

Hello Richard,

The M-48 NATO pod is currently only available to the military.

We had planned on selling the mask and pod through rebreather
manufactures so that in the training of their rebreathers they could
incorporate the FFM with NATO pod. Unfortunately, this did not work out
to the best interest of business.

Also, we were contacted by the US Depart of Export that informed us
the NATO pod falls under the US Department of Commerce Bureau of
Industry and Security Office of Export Enforcement, section 8A018
"Items on the International Munitions List" Item a; Closed and semi
closed circuit (rebreathing) apparatus specially designed for military
use, and specially designed components for use in the conversion of
open-circuit apparatus to military use.

We have no plans at this time to pursue the market for the NATO pod
outside of the military.

Thank you for your interest in Kirby Morgan products.

Safe diving,

I deleted the contact name. Seems a very nice way to say. We ain't sellin nobody one unless you're military.

Oh yea, this email is FROM Kirby Morgan. Not a dealer.
