Got to shoot a grenade launcher for work today?

And here's me after the range with the best damn platoon leader in the Army:

I remember the good ole days when I got to play with toys like that in the Marine Corps. The M203 looks great and a lot of fun to fire, but when it comes to humping that extra weight....watch out. A little goes a long way(The rounds for that thing weigh a ton to carry with you).

I can't believe how nice your issue is though. It's practically brand spanking new. It always seemed like we (Marines) got issued all the left over crap.

Man, those pics really brought back some good thoughts from the good ole days. Thanks for sharing, bro.

Actually, every piece of my issue WAS brand new. All of it still had tags and was in the bag. Being a brand new IBCT/UA ( Infantry Brigade Combat Team/ Unit of Action), we get some of the cool toys. Even our weapons are brand new. Tomorrow is the M9 (9mm Beretta) range, and Friday is the M4/M-16 range. Gonna be a looooong week.
