I would call down there, but I am pretty sure they are sick of me calling to ask one question here and there, so I'll take advantage of this forum to answer my questions.

Also I have a question about the LBE/LBV deal on the packing list. I have a TAC vest that I got issued with my rifleman's kit, when we went to Iraq. Is that going to be good to go or no?

Thanks

Get smart and call the unit to ask. Whatever you get here will be unconfirmed and unsupportable.

They can also give you a definitive answer on the vest, unlike the opinions you will get here.

For anyone else reading this, stop asking policy related questions that you need a solid answer on. When all else fails, ask for a copy of the reg or policy letter. Recruiters, Physicians, MEPS personnel, Ops NCOs, COs, SGMs, etc. issue real answers, and frequently in writing. What you get here is opinion, in most cases.

Best of luck.
