It is getting harder to do and eventually I may not to be able to. But for now I'm enjoying every minute I can. You should too!

One time just try running real hard to the bench pick up your AR and engage the target and you'll see its not easy to do. Then try it with carrying some weight on your body, it gets even harder. If god forbid you are put in a position that you may have to take someones life, you better be ready and able to place those rounds where they belong and not hit bystanders. This is why you train and even when you train to do this it can still go wrong. But without this type of training it can be even worse. Training saves lives including your own.

As far as carrying a 1000 rounds.. No. I didn't even carry that much on my person in Iraq. A combat load is aprox.290 rounds. Now when I train I carry only 180 rounds in pouches right up front.

Sorry to preach or be long winded. I just wanted to explain how I roll. Like I said this is how I do it and its not for everyone and I'm not knocking anyone who doesn't.
