Hehe IF you were at Ft. Bragg, you could always just go down town and buy a new vest that some grunt pawned off. You would not believe how many ISSUE and controlled pieces of gear I saw downtown when I was stationed at Pope AFB next to Bragg.

I've seen the new Army IOTV (Individual Outer Tactical Vest) in a couple of the local mil-surp shops. Funny thing, it costs the Army well over 2 grand for one of these sets of armor, and some 11 bang bang ends up pawning to it make his car payment for 200 bucks. Then it gets resold for maybe another Benny. People just don't realize what they have.
