"LOL. Another reason he's probably out of breath is that his vest weights about 50lbs, due alot to the trauma plates in it."

I once took the challenge to do a 5 mile trot with full loadout of the average Light infantry soldier! I made it but I damn sure did not set any records save for maybe slowest time ever!

This was on a flat track and I was 15 years younger I tell ya true that last mile the damned weapon doubled in weight and size and some clown had to be throwing a cement block in my pack every hundered yards!
