How many are not wearing issued vests? I have completed basic the same as you have, MY OPINION is that the rig is insufficient.
How about roto 7 troops from 3R22R battle group, which I was on, who weren't allowed any non-issued kit due to Quebec area analness... they made due with the issued vest... But these rules vary from a battle group to another.

I wasn't questioning your opinion, and I think we can all agree that the vest isn't cut for the current job... I was simply backing up the comment made by Skeletor... Although it does fit all the mission essential kit, 10mags (some not so well secured or very accessible), IFAK, PRR, and more...
