This Isn't the site I was looking at the other day, but gives a lot of the same information  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Future_Force_Warrior

Yep love my M-1950 & USMC Coleman 550 Peak 1

Yah they cheap out on the materials Sgt majors still want shiney shiney. Same with the boots thats why they hated the CADPAT boots, no polish needed. The spit & polish, everybody has to look the same parade ground mentality is alive & well. Both UK MOD & US DOD aprove private purchase gear for...

they talk about liquid metal in the armour, HUD in the face shield with on-board GPS, Compass, Maps, range finder, & orders displayed on it. built in comms with thin wire antennas embedded in the armour. NBC is built in no suits or masks to carry. On-board meds a corpsman can administer with a...

I can't remember the site but I was just looking at it 2 days ago, if you guys think this star wars armour is a joke you should look up the US Army Future Soldier Program. They are putting big bucks into exoskeleton armour with strength augmentation and autotomic thermo body temp controls...

I guess we just weren't politically correct in the day when the Soviets were the bad guys, & we trained to clear rooms with frags not flashlights. I didn't say you were doing it wrong just that it makes you a target.

3 min on a real brass springbok and it will have a beautiful shine. It will not work on plated badges.

For the most part he's right except effective is a calculation of ballistics of the weapon, cartridge, powder, & bullet not the soldier, give me a C7-CT [MRS] and a Leatherwood ART IV & I will hit targets all day at 700 m (but they will only die with perfect shots head or heart) with a C3 or an...

I wouldn't want to gamble my life with any flashlight in a tactical enviroment. A flashlight makes you a great big target. Other than being PC there is zero need for tactical flashlight unless your a cop making a drug bust a a Molson Brewery.

A 62 grain 5.56 mm bullet leave the 20" barrel of a C7 at Approx 3300 feet per second with about 1200 foot pounds of  energy, as it travels down range it looses both velocity & energy. Effective range is the calculated distance that the bullet will still do what it was intended to do, remaining...

2 tooth brushes, bic lighter, kiwi cloth, brasso brush cap badge with brasso, set on fire, use dry brush to remove remaining dry brasso, polish 2 min with kiwi cloth caution only use this method with real brass cap badges

C2 or C6 or the 50 Ma Deuce Rock & Roll with authoritay

Could be they are just trying to grab a piece of the pie, camo gear is a huge civy market right now and ACU is the big seller. As a friend of mine told me the colors don't look military.

I compared my issue '64 & '82 rucks the main compartments & pockets look to be about equal in overall volume, so the 82 will hold hold slightly more because of the cover flap pocket. If that helps any, I never been very good with the metric system say maybe 50 - 55 liters total capacity for the...

If you are going to be using any drop leg platforms theres a combat support harness (or suspenders) that attaches to your trouser belt to aid in shifting weight and to keep your pants up. If I remember correctly its at Brigade Quartermasters check there site. don't want to hang any moons while...

you have shown in that statement you have enough experience. take a look at CP Gear's 64 Mk 2 it comes in Arid CADPAT or talk to Matt Fisher here. I would stay away from Drop Zone as much as possible they are over priced IMHO
