Well a 20 lbs ruck dosen't help.  As for the 522; we were told the other day, that the 522 can only be carried in its manpack, not the small pack/ruck/other bag, due to it overheating  ::).

I'm not SQ qualified  ;D (guess I will have to ask to get put on one after tour)

I carry a KBAR to use as a fixed blade knife, I don't want to saw through paracord  ::) I carry my bayonet to use as a prodding/digging tool (I could just leave it in the FOB, but that would require using my Kbar for that purpose).  It does fit nicely between my IFAK and smoke grenade pouch.

No, we ran into him wile in the line of an establishment that will remain unnamed.  Well when there are people in KAF that have nothing better to do it dosen't surprise me.  It was funny tho, he had buttons undone, and a gut that hung out from under his combats; and to make it better, he was...

I don't think it is used for combat recovery, unless you are in the same convoy as one.

Well one pair om my issued desert boots is in KAF locked away in a seacan somewhere, not to be seen till the end of tour (only brought, because I had to).  I think the other set is home in a box somewhere. They weigh almost as much as my laptop. They still exist, I ran into one in KAF, a few...

I have used mine last night, when it got really cold.  Other then that it has been strapped on the outside of my small pack (my just in case vehicle break down/overnight op bag).

s1t2, Found out it is just not allowed at my FOB: when we went to another FOB, that FOB SM was wearing one (just took mine off, after wearing it for three days). Matt, I will be sending you a few ideas for the GEN II when I get a chance.  Has anyone found a problem with chafing on the back of...

I have not seen the new ones, but I don't think they addressed the major problems.  I don't mind crew commanding the Bison, as I have a better chance of surviving the explosion then say the driver/ guys in the back minus the air sentry (I hate driving it for said reason).

The site is flying for me, despite my slooooooooooow sandbox connection.

I think this is a waste of the CF's money, as this vehicle is not safe for use outside the wire (unless they did some major upgrades).  I am not going to post reasons at this time, as they may be OPSEC.

No Engineers aren't that busy, we are just out 6 to 7 days a week, and maybe a day for vehicle maintenance thrown in there. It all depends on the job you are doing, I am out every day, wile my counter parts in the field troop rotate through QRF, days off, and missions.  Just depends on what...

I find the black socks work by them selves, but than again, I am working in 60 plus temperatures.

Pier, I still don't see how putting on a pair of khaki pants and a polo shirt is harder then jeans and t shirt.  I frequently wear khaki pants and a polo, and it takes me no longer to get dressed then when i wear jeans and t-shirt. Well if the shirt has to be tucked in, then we should fight for...

Well I would have said high end Business Suits, but that would require a clothing allowance for all the worn out knees.

And this coming from a guy who worn a Tux in KAF on New Years Eve.

Thanks, I wasn't able to search, as my connection is slooooooooooooow.  We are just lucky to have internet.

Well I watched the Samurai vs Viking episode when it first aired, and called BS; I haven't watched one yet; but that is partly due to no TV and slow unreliable internet.

Well I don't have it off, (I don't have a weekend till mid Aug  ::)).  But my plans will be work, work, sweat my a** off, and more work  ;D
