Here we go again. Today involved the accumulation of more gear which translates into...HEAVY! We went to an area of the base called RFI or the Rapid Fielding Initiative, but it actually felt more like shopping at REI!! I received everything from a ruck sack (a large hiking back pack), sleeping gear, camel back, cold weather gear, extreme cold weather gear, a parka, thermal wear, ballistic eye wear, pocket knife, first aid kit, and helmet. It feels like I am going on a hard core camping trip. The stress of this whole experience comes after staring at now 2 stuffed sea bags, my ruck sack, my personal duffel bag, and computer bag...time to hit the gym or grow another pair of arms.
RFI or REI?
