And yes, we all know you guys wear armor, however there are physiological differences between sitting in it and running and gunning in it.

Granted there are some friendly barbs being tossed in this thread...but it's humbling that fellow soldiers, sailors, marines and airmen will seek out private health care (paid for out of pocket) in order to continue to be allowed to do the mission. Regardless of branch or MOS, that dedication to service is impressive.
