Waist belts are good.

Way back when I was in the 7th, the team leader introduced us to waist belts. He actually purchased for the entire team. o after giving him a hard time we trained with them to prepare for a trip to Korea. The belts were padded and had quik releases ( for a quick ruck drop), but what we found after a little reconditioning was better agility with the rucks and shared weight load on the hips instead of all on the shoulders. Later in the 10th group we got the LOWEs and they came with padded belts. Any way thats all... Blitzzz
