Reading the above I remembered that I actually had bruises on my hips from the duty belt. Rookies had to carry a big Motorola "Brick" portable, as the veteran officers disliked the weight.

Bruises on the hips are a thing of the past though, I've much better padding these days!

Some of the stuff that was on the Sam Browne ...
