Exactly.
The Army will issue you everything they want you to use till you get to a certain point in the Q Course.
If you make it that far, they will let you know.
Despite popular internet opinion, gear does not make the man, or the mission, the professional makes the mission regardless of the gear.
Most of the great soldiers I have been fortunate enough to serve with could come out of retirement with WW II gear and still hand you your ass.
