Well, now this is kind of a pain. Yesterday we spent the entire day getting our gear issued to us and then today we were issued our weapons - both an M9 and a brand new M4. The gear included all our personal protective armor (65 pounds), two Army backpacks (full of crap), two sleeping bags, cold weather gear, camelback, Gerber multi-tool device, sunglasses, goggles, etc. It amounted to three sea bags and a huge backpack. All this stuff we have to hump overseas. We also have to carry our weapons everywhere we go on base - including the cafeteria. Its kind of a hassle, but it will get us use to carrying weapons all the time while we are there.
