My reasoning is that less ger is better gear. They try to load us down with ![[Linked Image from terminallance.com]](http://terminallance.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/08/MAR_Q410_SB_Maxillofacial-1.jpg) 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. May the Force be with US! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

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.
