[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 1127374, member: 25383"] I carried a 110lb. combat load on 23 CA's in and around the Que Son Valley. I carried the 60, an extra barrel, cleaning kit, bag of springs and extras, plus three belts. Managed to get somebody else to carry another barrel, and everybody else on out five to six man team had three or four belts. I also had a 45 and four mags, and everybody had three or four grenades. Plus I carried a dozen or so M79 rounds in my lower pants pocket. Had a big knife that was to prove out to be worthless, and it must have weighed a pound and a half! Add in a couple smoke grenades, and a couple flares and your knees get tired fast. That's a standard combat load and not going in heavy. If you went in heavy, you probably humped a 130lb. Doesn't sound like it would be 110lb., but then you add in the normal stuff to survive (water, medical, food, batteries, and even a body bag.). I weighed about 142lb. and was scared to death of my First Sargent. Started out as the #2 man out the door, but after three CA's ended up as the #1 man plowing thru the elephant grass bleeding all over the place. No wonder my knees are bad! gary [/QUOTE]
