We spent the day at Ft Jackson picking up 3 more Seabags of gear - the worst being the Individual Body Armor (IBA).The vest contains Kevlar lined metal plates and is very heavy. If it does not fit right it begins to wear down your neck and shoulders. For our combat training we are required to wear this full set of stuff - or our "battle rattle"
(Helmet, IBA, knee pads, elbow pads, gloves, eye protection, pistol & holster, and M-16).
We will be carrying this stuff everywhere.
