HadIt.com Elder LarryJ Posted March 20, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted March 20, 2009 "While the Marine Corps isn’t seeing as many injuries caused by heavy loads, service officials are still concerned over the amount of weight troops carry. The more weight they carry, the less able they are to chase down a fast-moving enemy." YOU CAN RUN, MF, BUT YOU CAN'T HIDE! .300 H&H "It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever." Chief Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwilli12 Posted March 20, 2009 Share Posted March 20, 2009 Sharon, Speak for yourself. I am retired AF and spent 11 years as an SP. Spent many thousands of hours carrying rucks, A3 bags, ammo, rifles, machine guns, grenade launchers, etc. Mr right rotator cuff was destroyed because of it. Generalizations always have exceptions. dwilli12 MSgt, USAF (retired) 100% P&T Schedular Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
