It was... different. All in all I liked it though. The chute is fifteen pounds heavier but the new harness distributes the weight across your body better, so you can use more legs and less back to hold it up. Granted, I don't jump it combat...
We had the cunt cap and bloused boots. You younger fellows have the beret. But now it seems everybody and his brother is wearing a beret- so you might say that that has lost its meaning. I can't ID people simply by the beret. Is the standout...
