SJ:

The RAID pack comes in Black, CB, OD, WC, and 3-color Desert. They had OD in stock when I was there.

Thanks Crip,

Joe, you're looking at the money thing all wrong. This is an investment, not an expenditure. Plus since you will use it for work, you can probably write it off your taxes.

If you buy a RAID or a TT, it will last you the rest of your life. I don't think you could tear them up on purpose. Unless you set it on fire.

Yet again the People's Medic is right on all fronts.

I'm going with the RAID.

In about 5-6 months I will probably pick up a PPM SAP (less crap to carry in the summer).

Well the Ft. Bragg Lightfighter Store has the Airbrone RAID in stock but they won't ship from there store. The Ft. Campbell store doesn't have any in stock and all RAIDS are on back order. So would anyone be willing to go to the Ft. Bragg Lightfighter store, pick up an Airborne OD RAID and ship it to me (I will obvisouly pay Lightfighter directly for the RAID).

Plus for your troubles
I'll give you a TT 2 piece MAV with TT suspenders Brand New never worn.

What color RAID do you want? And don't settle for the Airborne, you don't need the extra stuff. We'll fix this somehow.

If nobody else hooks you up, I should be over there later this week.

Just let us know if it is already taken care of.
