Been there and done it, and conducted the tactical enbus and debussing drills as well. EVERY bit of kit was squeezed inside the vehicle with only the usual cam net and single roll of barbed wire on the outside.
AND it was the Australian version of the M113 - the one with a turret basket taking up internal space.
Not saying it was easy, or comfortable, but if can be done if everyone is REALLY close friends.

I'd hate to be one of those unfortunate 14 to be crammed into an M113 on a long ride, and someone suddenly says "Oh man, I gotta take a s**t...."


Of course, it could be just as bad, or worse if he said, "I don't feel so good..." PUKE!
I've heard M113's on long rides are pretty uncomfortable and vomit-inducing in some cases, true?
