Christian,

The obvious exception to my statement is "except for those really in the service".

I can tell you that I do not NEED any of the stuff I buy or pull from inventory.  It's because I want it, plain and simple.

Wraith, that's kind of a silly question.  A plate carrier is just another means of  bearing a load.  Sure, they are meant to carry a plate, but the STRIKE carrier can hold pouches without a plate installed.  It's a small, rather lightweight, padded piece of kit.  That's why he would want the plate carrier.


When he said plate carrier, I was thinking of the harness that you put on underneath the vest and put the plate in. Not the one that you can attach molle or alice pouches to.

Nearly all dedicated plate carriers I have seen have additional attachment points on them, though there are some which only hold a plate and nothing else.

I will post some pics of my recon tonight, to show how I have the hydro setup.
 Theres also a Recon set like mine on MM, but I didnt like the way the Hydro was atached.

I also have my Recon set so when I am laying prone. The buky part of the recon is right under my chest acting like a pillow(well kinda hard pillow)proping me up 6-8 inches. I have no problems with low craws or sliding down a moutain(yes I have done it) on my rig. I did have to relocate my side arm to my drop leg,
