As some of you may know, I wish to join the army as a padre (army chaplain). I personally feel that in order to support the troops that are in my 'care' I should understand what they go through. So I thought this may be a good place to start.
Now I know body armour is a standard issue in most armies and, despite the fact I have never actually worn the kit, I have heard that it is extremely heavy. especially the vest. So I was wondering, does this weight actually limit what you can sometimes do or does your training help you overcome this issue to near 100%?
