For my current style US Navy pilot set, I have an CMU-33/P22P-18 survival vest with most items.

But I have no idea on where exactly to put those (except for the radio) For instance, what pocket does the SRU-31/P go (if even carried)

 

Thanks for the help!

I believe the survival kits should be carried in both inside lower velcro closed pockets. Which vest setup do you have? The Rotary wing or Tacair fixed wing? Which model PRC-112 is that? Looks like its missing the earphone pouch.

I am almost certain the SRU-31/P kits were kept in the ejection seat Survival Kit Unit (SKU-RSSK or soft kit)<br />for fixed wing aircraft equipped with ejection seats. The SRU-31/P kits were probably kept in the vest for<br />rotary wing and patrol aircraft.

That might be the case indeed, in the SV-2B it was placed in one of the side pockets.

My PRC-112 is the early version and has the earphone pouch and my vest has the TAC-AIR pocket lay out.

 

Thanks for the help!

You have a rotary wing aircraft vest. The TACAIR vest has a metal zipper with only one slider. It also has slots in the upper chest area for the Koch fittings from the parachute harness to pass through.

 

 

Here is a basic setup for your vest.

And, here is a table that shows what goes where. This is for the current generation of survival gear but it should give you some idea.
