eagle industries

i just got a eagle industries plate carrier in it should be shipped out to me soon. now i dont know much about this brand except its pretty good. i got it in ranger green and i was wondering if it would match my marpat desert and woodland well(cant afford getting two colors until i get issued my gear. and btw is it ok to airsoft with my issued gear or not?)

Eagle is the gold standard in gear, and always has been.

RG with marpat is personal preference. Most USMC stufflooks the best with coyote brown (not coyote tan).

I don't know what you get to hang onto as far as issued stuff, but using airsoft as a training tool you should probably use gear as close to what you will be taking to war with you as you can, though I don't think they will let you go down range with your PC.

thanks ill keep that in mind. i just recently whent into the reserves so i gotta get everything reissued and from my understanding i have to keep everything at home since theres no place at the reserve station to hold my gear. ill try to simulate my RS stuff with my AS stuff

Are you Marine Reserve up on 35th? thats where i'm at.  If you are you get issued older stuff, but if your just checking in you get all the nice new stuff! (isn't it messed up knowing recruits get better stuff than me, same with all the boots!) Well anyway i rock my issued gear out in the field, now if you get an OTV take out the soft armor it makes it 10 time better.  My kevelar is sh*t too but i use it anyways. If your ever in doubt bout that stuff, just remember if you have earned it wear it!

actually im with 4th med battalion ^.^ corpsman. i know we get issued new gear. but the problem with us is it takes up to like a year to get ours unless we do our AT in camp pendleton where they have to issue us our gear

o...yea no we have a plenty so we don't have that problem, its just we have plenty of old things....damn Marine Corps budget....so shit doesn't like to work. but Ooorah Doc!

[dnguyenaz]

OOHRAH! Yea the only problem with us is that we are based out of san deigo so i have to get my gear issued from them. and you know how fast paperwork is there. well ill be wearing my gear when i get it issued some time next year ha. oh and for my E plate carrier i cant find a cummerbund for it since i bought it without one. anyone know where i can pick one up?
