Me in my battle gear

Well, this is the gear that we have to wear every day.  I guess it is good to get used to it now.  We will have to wear it when we get into theatre.  Over all the gear ways about 60 - 70 pounds. It isn't all that comfortable, but the longer you wear it the less you notice it.  The Army guys really believe in it.  We saw a video, that was recovered from some insurgents, where a corpsman got shot.  He fell down and then he got right back up and ran around his humvee for cover.  I will gladly wear it.

  3. YEAH!! I am all for it if it keeps you safe. Even if it looks funny on you, Navy men aren't suppose to look like that.
