This weekend on the military channel, they were showing some near future equipment that will be issued, utilized by the military personnel. One of the things that really caught my eye was this new outer uniform type of suit, similar to what the swat folks wear but more tech advanced. They were showing how the suit would be equipped with GPS and folks could see where you are, they could tell what your doing and what position your in, kneeling, standing, laying down. The daggone thing even does CPR ad other first aid, keeping troops alive until help arrives, the suit even showed the folks coming to assist what they should bring to help the fallen soldier/marine and where on the body the injury was and what type of injury, broken bone, shot, shrapnel, etc. From the what I saw when they were showing it, the suit looked a little like a MOP suit, minus the gas mask but there was a funky looking green helmet that looked a little like the one I wore when I rode the little bus to school with my drool bucket.
