Man, you just don't know what pain is until your ALICE Large weighs almost as much as you, plus an M24 and a CAR-15 (now known as M4) is dangling with you under a Huey/Blackhawk. Nothing like having to hump two weapon systems with dissimilar ammo + el pistola.

The eagle on the 101 patch wasn't screaming, he was groaning from the pain of all that was carried.

Too much weight and all the sudden you are inverted and that is where the story of dislocated shoulders began for me.
