when i was in training i couldnt feel my feet through out the 32 week course and for weeks afterwards. non of this dry sentry routine, it was always wet wet wet unless in your bag.

i found pussers webbing best for gpmg in afghan.

instead of pussers mag pouches replace them with utility pouches. trust me works a treat.
