That photo reminded me of an article I read several years ago. It discusses all the improvements made to personal equipment made over the last ten years specifically because of IEDs. Interesting read.

You can do it!

I have been posting a daily (and a weekly)for over 3 years now. Sometimes I mess up, but i have been told that it is an important part of FR.

They are terrific pictures and you format them so nicely.
