Well here's my nickel worth of thought. Seeing you are likely going to one of the older hands in your platoon...just hang back for a little while and resist the urge to provide "advice" to the kids. Let them make their own mistakes...it's good training and life experience for them. Spandex is...

Gallows humour has it's place....but not in this instance.

You clowns do realize there was a fatality right?

Mike: I'll dig into the archives later today and PM some of what's in my collection. Cheers, J.

Go cook...you can put out kitchen fires too. FML... :facepalm:

TT....You were specifically authorized to wear issue Gen IV plates in non issue chest rigs? TF 2-13 RiPed us out and arrived wearing the original issue desert tac vest. R1 Op Attention was issued SORD rigs with the front/back plate carriers....we were never authorized to use them however.

There is a line up of folks who are fighting the system right now, and getting nowhere. Thankfully i have never had to endure the song and dance...but I know of several cases right now that have them flopping from SISIP to DVA and back again. No one wants to own the problem.

as in what TF?

You're missing the point BW-7. Not wearing the plates in the issued vest was/is a direct violation of BG policy...therefore in a Report of Medical Injuries if it states you were not wearing issued safety systems when it was possible for you to do so...you might be "hooped". Like it or...

....but then again there are always feel they know better or just want to be different to make up for some lack of love from thier mother....:)

When it comes to safety systems there is very little room for interpretation. As Puck will recall the BG RSM directed that the shoulder protectors would be worn with the frag vest as well. it was the first time I had ever worn them, however the dictum that it was a lawful order was a very...

If you are injured as a direct result of not wearing your plates in the issue vest, you may not be eligable for SISIP benefits.

Keep in mind gents. You don't get to decide if you want to have a plate setup. You will NOT be able to swap your plates out of your issue vest and into whatever rig you choose unless you are in a job that specifically allows you...ie: SOFCOM. That being said I administered an NDA 129 to one of...

There you go then.

Only R1 was issued with the SORD kit. R2 RiPed us out wearing the issue tac vest...as for R3...no idea what they're going to wear. Ack on the BH holster though. Better to manage in the ASUVs.
