sjm said:I don't recall having to pay anything for my TacVest and at the end of the day it did everything I expected it to do. I got to try on about 10 different rigs from guys trying to flog their wares and none of it justified spending my valuable dime. One might try to deduct the cost on their income taxes since it might qualify as a work related expense.
The rigs I saw allowed the wearers to carry no more kit than I required to do my job. One of the rigs had a real sexy drop down portable office on the chest but I don't do paperwork on the go. It's just a personal thing.
Can the kit be better? sure and a big juicy pay hike wouldn't bite the bag either but we got what we got.
You are a douche!!
Can the Kit be better? Hell yes!! But taking the "oh well, what can you do" attitude isn't going to change anything! Your a bloody WARRANT OFFICER, FFS! Your in a leadership role and a position of authority, stand up and do something! With all the humping you've done, you should at least have a spine under your combat shirt somewhere!! WAKE UP!! Its the 21st century, kit has come a long way, and we should be given the best of it! Your right, you shouldn't have to spend your own money on it, I agree, but we shouldn't have to wait years for someone to redesign a piece of kit from the ground up when a combat proven model already exists. Attitudes like yours are the reason why the system is so messed up.
And I put 30 rounds in my mags, because they don't stay full very long anyways.
