gimpys are great, just fuckin heavy. spent most of it in light weight "special" kit.
 so no big radios and the like. plenty of little radios and other electronic shit.

I had to carry the PRC 320 as we was left far in enemy lines we had to have long range kit(self sufficient) funny how we used old school HF though

still hard to beat for power/range. the "little" stuff is ok but fragile as fuck.
NI was one of the worst. at least the ragheads are easy to spot

Hard but awesome to watch

one of the reasons I went in the army and got into war shit was cause of films like platoon 

Too right, Hamburger Hill sold it for me. Of course I then joined the signals.....58 pattern webbing and comfy 110 FFRs not quite the trenches....

I was only uncomfortable for the first year of service I then went Recce platoon and we used WMIK's so was relatively comfy.... I just had to carry a fuck load of weight... Being a signal gunner on a WMIK sucks especially when you have to carry section kit like lions sights or spy glass including CWS and PNG's along with you GPMG and your personal weapon 

We just mainly carried sandwiches, and an enormous sense of wellbeing.......

the info they give you the first time you fly out is hysterical.
NO military haircut
NO military clothing
NO military bags,etc

When you land right in the arrivals is a BIG desk with a FUCK OFF sign saying "military personnel report here"

discrete
