rucksack packing questions..
I only had to pack one a few times..since I was in the mech-inf.
What did your usual rucksack contain for a hump in the bush ?
Would you pack differently for a longer mission in the bush ? If so, how ?
How long did it take the FNGs to catch on to packing it right ?
Any mistakes the FNGs usually made ?
Any tricks that the old-timers learned the hard way ?
Was there anyone who always seemed to be short some items ?
Were there some items that were prized, but difficult to take ?
Did you guys hump 81MM rounds, LAWS, WP grenades, CS grenades, extra M79 rounds, or other bulky items ?
Did you take clean water or drop tablets in stream water most of the time ?
Ever get caught in the lurch after supplies ran short and have to live off the land ?
What was a standard LRRP or SF rucksack like ?
Did you get SP packs in the bush ? If so, what did you do with all the loot ?
As Andy will attest, our packing the M113 ( APC ) was simple..just fill it up to the top...never was able to though....lol
Thanks for your comments !!
P.S. : Are rucks in Iraq and Afghanistan packed any differently today....
