FWIW, I never saw anyone use a tent in the Marine infantry either. If it rains, then use your poncho. Around '93 some guys bought aftermarket gore-tex bivvy bags for wet weather. But I never saw a tent (read: shelter half) used after I left boot camp for anything but command post, logistical purposes.
