    Default Battle Rattle


    Matt sent me this pic. He is in his full battle gear. As the M240 machine gunner, he is responsible for carrying the M240, an extra barrel, 1000 rds of ammo, his side arm, ammo for it, and his ruck. All in all, he carries just over 108 lbs of gear. That wears me out just thinking about it. He is training in a California dessert right now and he says it's HOT!! He wanted me to thank you all for the words of support. I thank you too.Name:  Battle Rattle.jpg
