I would have loved to have had Molly gear. When I was in, WE had 782 Gear, way heavier. The 782 was the old form we signed when we were issued our gear.

Funny thing is, WE signed for BASIC combat gear, then a LOAD of extra Flight related gear.
All Marines signed for BASIC combat gear. Then the gear for your MOS. We signed LOTS of forms...
