What else is new? Everything is old. Old trucks, old webbing.

All the new stuff is for overseas missions. Why would they give us new flak jackets, and give the old ones to guys in Afghanistan? We don't have the funds to purchase everything new, like the marines do unfortunatley. We do our best with what we have.

We will be getting the new load bearing vest, which replaces the webbing by summertime, which should be awesome.

edit:
Remember that there is a difference between a flak jacket, and body
armour. A flak jacket won't stop a round.
