Figured I would ask this here instead of making a new thread: 1) Is the CP gear Camelback allowed on BMQ/SQ? 2) What hearing protection is issued on BMQ? 3) If excellent hearing protection is not issued are you allowed to purchase higher quality ear protection for BMQ/SQ? Such as the Sonic...

Reserve BMQ is around 30 training days according to the sheets. I have read on this site about people doing Regular BMQ but I believe that might only apply to Airforce Reserve.

Was briefed on this tonight. Pretty crappy situation but honestly how dumb can this soldier be? I am surprised the IDF hasn't banned it like the US Marines. I personally keep facebook at maximum possible security.

I was actually looking forward to casualty carry as part of BFT. This dragging a person has got to be one of the more stupid things I have heard especially since those straps on the back of the tac vest will not hold a person's weight.

Just wondering if anyone knew if this deal was still active this upcoming July? Was thinking of taking 4 round trips in July that would cost $750ish total unless they were free of course  >:D.

It's such an amazing photo.
