Crap that sucks! I carried an MG when I first went in. I am shamefully

thankful I only had to carry basic inf load. Have carried the 249 / belt especially with vehicle opns but again, thankful never had to carry one in firefights.

Or having to carry an AT-4 at times. Biggest pain in the ass trying to run around with that.

I wonder if you have to pick up composite cases at the range -- AirborneHokie96 04/20/2022 4:25PM

Probably, but they probably want you to drop them into the trash. ** -- EDGEMAN 04/20/2022 7:10PM
