Well...old lady memories time again...

I very distinctly remember seeing USMC Grunts riding atop M60 (or possibly M48) tanks as part of the Infantry Training School in 1974-5.
I remember it because I was pissed they wouldn't let us gals try!

Now I can't say one way or another if it was "standard practice"...but every USMC grunt at the time was taught how.
