So its OK for your command to decide which SOP's to follow and which not to? Thats a pretty dangerous precedent they are setting on one hand, on the other how is one to enforce SOP's that arent SOP's?

FYI, Tactical Applications Group in Jacksonville, NC will be offering the Spartan II in ACU in a couple months if you are looking to get out of that IBA carrier. The Spartan II is the commercially available model of the USMC's new carrier which is built by Eagle Ind... Its very similar in design to the Land CIRAS though it accepts IBA panels. It is however not releasable. And its a might bit cheaper than the CIRAS at $275.00. Just thought I'd mention it...

Stay safe out there Sir.
