We all have to start somewhere.
Here is some of my kit that I've set up to suit my needs here.
Eagle Industries unless otherwise noted.
MARCIRAS, Khaki
-2x 9mm pouch (carries leatherman and surefire 6P)
-Coyote Tactical Quad 40mm pouch
-2x Double M4 pouch
-Michael Bianco IFAK w/foldout kit, Combat Application Tourniquet, Cinch Tight, 10x10 HemCon
Medium ESapi and IIIa soft armor inserts on the sides (I don't like to run the ESBI APM2 sideplates inside)
RRV, Khaki
-Icom radio pouch
-2x 200rd SAW Drum pouch
-Medium Esapi in the chest
This rig is for the SAW ammo I'm never going to carry, but the pouches hold M16 mags, too.
ESBI Sideplates
Bullets, 203 rounds (2x HE, 1x GRN Marker)
Hydration pack for the RRV
Kifaru Marauder, OD. I fucking love this pack for 1-2 day trips and general use!
Oh, and my COMTAC Liberator headset.
The CIRAS is the shit, bottom line. I'm very fortunate to be able to wear it, because I hear the IOTV isn't all it was cracked up to be. I also have an IBA, with all the BS but I've been wearing the CIRAS lately and will continue to do so until I come home. It's not comfortable with the sideplates inside, but it wasn't designed to use the sideplates I have, the way I've used them. It's much easier to don than one may think considering the side entry.
I probably will never use the RRV here, like alot of other kit that I was issued.
Rockin the CIRAS returning back from a 3-day outing:
Cheers!
