Actually I was pretty damn happy with the old kit that we were
issued. As an infantryman, I am not too keen to lug stuff like flak
vests, knee pads etc around. Extra weight.
As an infantry commander, I am even less keen to carry NVGs ,
parang, compass, map case , bino etc etc... but no choice.
You will end up signing a lot of 1206s and having to account and
clean for such stores.
My M16 carbine, knife , water bottles and ration pack is all that I
need !!!
