Close to home...
This is a picture of my Brother-in-Law, Scotty, currently at Ft. Dix for training, and in his own words...
"I'm wearing my "full battle rattle" complete with Kevlar helmet, 26 lbs of body armor w/ SAPI plates, and my brand new M-4 carbine rifle (minus my laser optical sights). I have to be in this uniform at all times (even to go to the porta-potty!). "
Guess where he's going.
