#3 Martin Staton, pointed out that the 10th Mountain had older vests due to shortages in Somalia, but the older vests had shoulder pads whic helped out immensely for crowd control.

It amazes me that the DOD and contractors have gotten this proficient at changing a product and getting the new gear into the field.

Hey sarge, there are rioters heading towards us.

OK, corporal, Platoon in your stances. We go on three, and don't jump if I give them the hard count....
