Wife says I have too much gear

[NIN]

And you didn't bring a cadet to carry it for you.

No, only Brodsky did... Grrrrrr...

The British guy I brought along had 2 Gurkhas for all his kit..

[SAR-EMT1]

The last time I went through my Army field gear (just after retirement), I discovered a couple of items that required a late night trip to the "amnesty box" at Camp Roberts.


Whoops.


Remember kids, always check your gear on a routine basis for servicability.

(and the presence of contraband.)

Amnesty box being a drop off point for ammo taken off base? Classified you left in your briefcase? What?

"Stuff" you're not supposed to have (generally ammo and / or brass, but often more serious "contraband" items, particularly if its the amnesty box at the reception station at Basic Training).

I still have several grenade pins. Oh well.

CAP Talk is so educational.  I learned things today. For example, I didn't  know Nin had a personal life.

ouch.............

It is a law of life that there is no such thing as two much gear...

Just as long as you have a place to stick it all...

PS: Tell you wife that it is "life saving equipment"

[thp]

You just need to buy an old U-Haul style trailer to carry it all around in, then it is all ready to go at once.

Yeah, neither did I until I thought about it!!

You can't have too much gear.  That is silly. 

Unless you're at Winter Hawk, and you're humping up the Valley of Stones enroute to Three Pipes, and its all on your back.

yeah...BTDT

Big?!?!?   

[Stonewall]

I was gonna say Large Marge, but her name isn't Marge either...

My wife is niether large or big.  She is 5' 2" and wears small short BDUs.  I really don't know how much she weighs and I'm sure she would kill me if I knew and put it on here.

[Michael]

Seems like its pretty well organized. 

Check out BOB-Oracle.com.  This guy is the king of snivel gear.

[teesquared]

I'm pretty sure "too much gear" qualifies as an oxymoron or something.
My wife says I have too many uniforms.
Humph!

[tjaxe]

Too...much...gear?

I don't think men are allowed to string those three words together in a sentence or acknowledge that
they can be by a woman.

Ask here if she has too much jewelry.   

Give me gear over a hunk of shiny coal any day!!  Alice packs, canteen covers, MREs... <sigh>

[Walkman]

Much to my wife's chagrin, I'm marching double-time toward the day when I can make the same "too much gear" statement.  I'm still pretty new, so it'll take me a few more months.

[fullback]

As long as your not obsessed with buying gear and its not ruining your marriage or job, I think your good.

[afgeo4]

So... why aren't you E-Bay'ing all this to make some money to buy brand new gear?
