Many of you have asked me what I plan on using the light for, so I asked myself that. Here, in the dusty place, I plan on using it as an edc, utility light. The ground here is full of potholes and ankle breaking ruts, so I will primary use it for quick shots of light to see where I am going around camp, not outside the wire. At home, it will go in my camelbak for use in the field or camping, along with a generous supply of extra batteries.

So that being said, I went ahead and picked up the G2. Its a pretty good light. I dont know how I feel about switch quite yet. BUT, for the price, it could not be beat, even if I decide to get the switch I want, which I probably will get sometime soon. PLus, as hard as I am on gear, this shouldlast me through this deployment and longer, as long as I dont lose it.

I know, I know, I should have just done this earlier, and I am lucky that I did, as the PX was almost sold out.


THanks for your help,

Garrett
