We put on the IBA, the Ruck, the Webbing then and Went Uphill

Not a great photo of yours truly, but it was early, cold and windy. I went out with Doc, Tractor, Tree, and a Major I haven't come up with a name for yet. We didn't go very far, but we didn't need to. It was about 15 degrees and the wind was blowing pretty hard. Also, we climbed up a hill that caused me to have to be on all fours a couple of times. I was smoked. I kept thinking "Holy Crap! This is how it'll be Afghanistan... all the time." Tree said "You look like a tourist in that picture." He's right, I just need a big camera and a few more pouches. I think once I start stepping out with the M4 and the M9 I won't look like I'm sight seeing.
