Sabrejet Posted October 19, 2011 Share #15 Posted October 19, 2011 well i cant be very comfortable that's for sure :pinch: When serving GIs on the forum first saw it they basically de-bunked it, saying in effect that no-one would ever go into combat with that amount of gear bolted on to their lids!!

hawkdriver Posted October 19, 2011 Share #20 Posted October 19, 2011 That's called a Geardo. He probably spends half his base pay buying that stuff. If he was ever in a vehicle accident, he would snap his neck. Also, all that high speed gear and he has a pair of PVS-7s on? After looking at his "kit", I'm wondering if he is even a soldier? He has some fundamental errors, none of the least the fact that if he had to hit the deck with that stuff on, he would rupture a spleen and would probably get caught up on every brush and fence he encountered. Remember in the movie Platoon when the Platoon daddy came Sheen I think and started pulling all the extra crap off him, this guy needs that done.
