If you where joining the military as a front line infantry soldier and could pick your own gear what would you choose?

I would choose reverse gear.

@flutherother What Is reverse gear? You mean like a gear in a standard car? Oh: )

@RedDeerGuy1 It’s the one that goes backwards

@flutherother Ok thanks.

A Metal Gear.

Meanwhile back on the topic.

I would buy really good big and tall portable light weight camping gear.
I don’t know much about weapons so I would stick to the standard issue.
I would have head to toe batman like body armor.
I would have really good MREs and I would spend lots of money on the best tasting ones.
I would buy comfortable military fatigues. From cotton.
A really good pillow and pillowcase.
One of those Dune sweat water recycling armors.
A bug out quality medical kit and all purpose stocked up kit.

Ah. So @RedDeerGuy1 lives in Russia and is aware that Russia is telling conscripts to buy their own gear before reporting for duty.

@RedDeerGuy1 lives in Canada.

A transporter.

A ticket back home.

Probably, assuming I have no interest in fighting, fake ID, some bribes, and a ticket to another part of the world.

Rocket pack!

An invisibility cloak.

I’ll take the Million Dollars. See ya!
