  1. NEVER get a watch with a plastic band if you go to the field a lot. The military bug repellant we were issued would dissolve the band and it would fall off in the field.

  2. Stoves and or jet boils in the infantry.....not a chance. Cooking in the field will give away your position to the enemy quickly. I ate cold MRE's for 5 years, the only warm meals we got were in the rear with the gear.

  3. I was in the 25th ID 3/22 Infantry from 91-95 and we NEVER wore gloves in the field. From heat retention to reduced tactile sensation we found them to be a hinderance. We carried them in our rucks and only used them when putting out concertina wire.

  4. LOL I had that exact cammo pack with the mirror. I remember once my squad leader told us to cammo up and this was 91-92 when the Ultimate Warrior was HUGE in the WWE. I used the cammo to paint on his face paint. My squad leader laughed his butt off because he loved the Ultimate Warrior too than made me do 20 pushups and wipe it off my face and cammo correctly. Also one tip for the sticks the military gives you carry a small container of baby oil and apply it to your face before using the cammo stick than heat up the stick with a lighter and the cammo goes on really smooth and even.
