Any Military /fit/izens in here? What is the proper form for

Pls halp

Can you translate from freedom speak? If you mean something similar to PLCE just get a yoke with wider straps on the shoulders.

Stretch, massage, whatever, as long as it gets the knots out you whiny bitch

Army kills your gains, dont join.

>Go out field for 4 weeks
>Rat packs cause living in an OP
>60kgs of gear
>Lose 12 kilos

Not only that you have to literally train for about a month to pass your fitness tests because the tests are so specific. Believe me being able to bench 100kg wont help you lift jerry cans or run an 8 min 1km in webbing and TBAS straight after a 15km stomp.

Join the Navy if you want to get massive and just look awesome.

Never worn an IOTV, but I have worn an interceptor, MTV, IMTV, and PC before.

Suck it the fuck up.

Only have worn the IMTV, but it's pretty much just going to hurt like dick regardless. I've seen some guys ghetto-rig pads from tape and isomat, but that only gets you so far.

Just make sure your gear is laid out evenly. If your unit doesn't have some gay SOP about flak layouts, try to locate heavier gear near the front or back instead of making it lopsided.

Any stretches or form that I should know so my back doesn't hurt when I wear an armored vest

>>37226571
Thanks anon, will do. I don't think we even have an SOP on gear

>after being in the army for 8 months
Yeah sure let me just get the good ol' branch switch-a-roo. I regret being so impatient, my recruiter said the air force had a 3 month waiting list so I just hopped into the army because I didn't want to die for Israel right away by going marine.

Y-yes sempai

And you are good to go

But there is not much you can do except get used to it. You can use some padding beneath the vest, but it wont help much
You could alternatively get a chest rig which you can take off whenever you get a chance to save you from a few aches

Full time status (technician) for the natty guard here.

idk what kinda of torture active duty is, but here in the guard you check the plates out at the place you'll need them... as in at the range/live fire/ whatever.

so i guess just take you plates out and only put them in when you need.

also, wear that motherfucker as tight as possible. most the pressure should be around the core as opposed to the shoulders.

ETS, join the guard
