My reasoning is that less ger is better gear. They try to load us down with [Linked Image from terminallance.com]

Yes that will be mandatory issue soon. Some are already having to wear it. It is cumbersome. Light load is the key. A tired combatant is a slowed combatant is an ineffective combatant ... see where I'm going?

JJ, looks to me as if someone has watched to many episodes of Star Wars! (Maybe they are a fan of the Bounty Hunter or the Imperial Storm Troopers.

Yea, weight is definitely an issue. The same friend who just got back said with everything he weighed an extra 120lbs! He said he spent a lot of time on his butt from tripping under the weight.
