Ok, however, are they allowed to choose their own kit? I know everyone always Special Operations can pick whatever they want, but what are the parameters when it comes to MARSOC/ Recon?
Dude, you answered your own question already by pointing out gear from HSGI, you need to think, well I know this isn't issued kit. So they must be able to wear other rigs, you should also take this to the airsoft section where there are thousands of children ready to answer these questions.
Ok, I apologize. I'll do that next time.

Here's the link: http://http://www.dvidshub.net/?scri...age&fid=270506
Think those are also at the US SOF thread, and if I'm noyt mistaken, there are hires. Besides, accounts at DVIDS are free.
No, the ones I'm referring to were uploaded at DVIDS on 18th April, they've haven't been posted on the US SOF thread yet. And I know that the account there is free, just don't want to share my e-mail & other infos with everybody on the net...Originally Posted by Ravage
