Well no and I don't have a hard on about someone who got their gear from family members who served their country. And yes I have a job also, but I don't go to US Cav. I go to Surplus stores and get it cheaper.
And no I don't, I don't have a mask of my own the Army supplys mine when I go to the MOUT site, just like they do for everyone else. And I'm Cadet Airman Adam Seaman not Air Cadet, I'm a Civil Air Patrol Cadet AF/AUX, not a Canadian Air Cadet.
Whats your problem Joe? You dislike me because I get stuff for free?
If you want to turn this into a boasting contest, alright.
I have so much gear that it takes up six 4x4 ft boxes and my whole closet and its more that $3,000 in military issue gear.
But none of that really matters because its just gear.
