I have a great book to recommend to those interested\u00a0in miltary\u00a0tactical gear: Battle Rattle <\/a>by Hans Halberstadt. The book, available at Amazon.com, is an in-depth look on all of the gear that a soldier carries. It’s well laid out going through the first, second, and third lines of gear. In addition, it has a glossary of terms which would help anyone who understands the military’s affinity for acronyms. Don’t skip over the Foreward, written by Soldiersystems.net<\/a> ‘s very own Eric Graves. Eric has\u00a0the background,\u00a0expertise, and the passion for all things gear-wise. He provides an interesting commentary on the evolution to the current Molle\/PALS system as well as the Berry Amendment. Good stuff for sure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
