Can't believe I'm debating mobility vs speed in my head again. It's been ten years The trade-off is going to be different for everyone. But as we each decide whether to buy plate carriers, ballistic helmets, etc, it's important to ask: can I run in this?

This is NOT me discouraging armor in these fucked-up times. But ask yourself: hour 5 of a protest--standing and running from cops the whole time--will you be able to make that last sprint to avoid end-of-night arrests? For some people that's a yes, and they should buy armor

Take it from a former soldier steeped in the toxic "gut through it, drink water, drive on" mentality: be aware of your own capabilities and make decisions accordingly Still fucking appalled and sickened that these are relevant questions for civilians and journalists right now

That's toxic

I mean, it can be Tell me you don't know people who were forced to train on injuries instead of taking like, a few days off, who now have permanent injuries

Haha, sorry, the joke there was me going "wait that's toxic??" Facetiously sorry :p And yes, I do :( At boot a guy was made to workout until he broke, while SIQ. They rolled him to the QD and rang the bell and forced him to exercise for like 45 minutes straight 100% VA, adsep

Fucking christ it's good to be out
