watching again. I am impressed by your personal $ to have the best. I was the same way in my team. Most had 2 sets of gear. I was team supply NCO (and scrounger) Being ADCON to the Division, OPCON the FMFLANT/PAC we had to go by the ADCON SgtMaj and CO/XO. 1 set for inspections & formations. 1 set for ops and deployments. The field trainig was difficult as the SgtMaj was like Sixta in gen kill. CO was a Vietnam grunt and did not bother us in the field. but the SGtMaj who had missed out on everything was...well a dick. Team commander was Vietnam grunt and that helped a lot. We also shot a lot of our own money. Don't forget. Job related stuff is a tax deduction. Bravo Zulu...
you can actually run the loose ends of the outer cummerbunds between the harness and the plate bag and tie them together with shock cord to give it stretch. I run the ARC cummerbund that way along with the AXL mini harness and AVS yoke. Its such a modular system that you really can make it into whatever you need it to be.
I've had an AVS for the longest time but no real chance to use it until I decided to get sneaky and use it on ARQ completely loaded up. I might not have been running around and doing cool shit but ill be damed with all SAPIs ontop of my gear + extra stuff just to weigh me down. It felt amazing and I wish I was able to use it more often. I wish commands were a little more lenient went it comes to outside gear like this
Thank you for the video! Army guy here a lot of your videos have inspired and helped me as a TL for my setups so thank you for that. I used to have the AVS and I loved it and now I use the Shaw Concepts Arc carrier because I found myself using it more that’s why I let it go but sometimes I regret selling the AVS but oh well. Very informative video man keep it up!
@@btr-70 The AVS is great I had it for two years the ARC I’ve had for a year and half and tbh I just liked the way the arc carrier was slimmer than the AVS. Yes the harness of the AVS is amazing but for the arc it felt really comfortable as the AVS if not a little more in my personal opinion but for load bearing both are great it’s just personal preference tbh. Maybe one day I’ll have the AVS again.
Love Crye stuff. I get issued great crye clothing and actually bought my own Crye vest rather rock the Eagle Enterprises kit issued by the "company". Love my JPC but seriously considering an AVS.
As an 03 I’ve found the FCPCV5 to be the middle ground between the AVS and JPC. Crye is so outdated and they don’t care they have the contracts so they made it. If they made the AVS laser cut, and more adaptive they would crush it.
They should definitely go laser cut for the platebags, the harness is fine. They have ongoing contracts with socom etc so they're not gonna change it for no reason, same reason the CPC still exists in exactly the same config as it was in 2009
You can put another wings for TQs, under the placard but over both of the cummerbunds, and then move SPUD and your other pouches 1 column to the front of cummerbund. They shouldn't get in a way of anything, as they'll use the space over your ROC buckles (but won't block them as they're only attached to a back of a placard velcro)
You're exactly right. As a young Marine a decade ago, we all looked longly at adjacent units with slick PC's like JPC's or Eagles. It was only once I got a JPC 2.0 years later I realized how much I would have f*cked myself in the field had we been able to make that decision for ourselves. Funny (infuriatingly) enough, our BC forced a Battalion wide gear SOP. Three double singles on front, IFAK on the far left side of the cumberbund so you'd hang up on every door you went through, two frags on the chest like a pair of tits, no tucked in blouses, and absolutely no non-issued kit. F*ckin sick. 2/4 was in a sad state under Brian's regime.
I don't have to carry a lot of weight in my job, but I have the defense mechanisms mepc with agilite warfighter cummerbund, and shaw concepts elastic front placard and shaw shoulder pads. The cummerbund and shoulder pads help give it structure and the placard connects to the cummerbund keeping it tight. It's very comfortable and I've hiked with it. I have an at-home one with more gear and I'm curious about the cost vs comfort compared to an avs.
I'm such a sucker for a gear breakdown vid and I always will be, but there's one thing that blows my mind. How much freedom do Marines nowadays have to use gear outside of issued equipment? When I was in during the GWOT days (yes i feel old now) I used the interceptor and the IMTV carrier. god help me if my command saw me with any outside gear lol
To be honest, in most units it’s still like that. Marines a usually good to go with any pouches they want as long as they are coyote brown or multicam. But most units are not allowing people to use their own plate carriers. It depends on who’s in charge of you though.
@@AppalachianAlex saaaaame bro, I was 10-14 as well. I remember getting the IMTV and the FILBE system and spending a literal weekend figuring out how to set it up bc i was the first in my unit to get it in late 2012

Do you think you could feature a medic in these videos?

Most medics ik don’t carry water, don’t carry medical reserved for themselves, also don’t carry easily accessible sick call meds (for example Tylenol, ibuprofen, Allegra, Benadryl, mobic, etc)

Thank god I see another dude say to ignore those JPCs for grunt work, been saying it for years but everyone wants to be highspeed and uncomfortable for some reason. (not ignoring how useful they could be for quick DA stuff)
The JPC is so bad. Wore one for a couple months and that rear plate just effed my spine up, the bottom ALWAYS tilted inwards into my back. Shoulder and neck pain wasnt that bad.
Are aftermarket carriers acceptable now for line companies? In 2013 I went on a short deployment with a company out of Horno (Pendleton) and I got goofed on the first week until I outshot them all and they found out I’ve been to Afghanistan which maybe 3 in the company had been.
Im assuming you are still running a belt with this. Kind of cirious to see how you've adapted it to work with your AVS vs. how you used to run it. I've never really cared for belt setups with armor as it just seems to get in the way.

Do you think it would be practical to ever Jerry rig significant soft armor coverage to crye AVS? I run a gen IV IOTV by choice and it'd be great to have the harness system of the AVS with the soft armor coverage of an IOTV
check out the ferro concepts soft side armor, add Velcro inside the cummerbund, or another rig could be the new defense mechanisms rig, which can have large soft armor coverage, theres also soft armor shoulder pads and dangler inserts, so even your abdomen will have some 3a
What do you think of the Eagle Industries ergo performance system? I’ve heard a bunch of dudes pretty much say that it’s a great way to bridge the gap between the avs minimal style plate carries like the jpc and such.
Guys I've asked said they hate it or love it. Really comes down to what carrier you use with it, but all agreed that it doesn't fully bridge that gap to the AVS harness.
SOF carries plenty of shit and has to haul it. Breaching, meds, AT, and batteries mostly. SOCOM should continue to issue it, and guys can pick up an MBAV or whatever lighter option they want for DA or vehicle ops.

@@L4performance literally just found out about you from someone else in the comments. I may be hitting you up for a set of modernized AVS plate bags.
I'm looking to join the marines and become an officer (probably either through JROTC or OCS after college), any MOS's/information sources you would recommend?
A recruiter is gonna be your man for that. As for me, infantry is the only way
@@TheGruntPerspective I want to do something related to infantry, what's your opinion on Recon? is it hard to get into? thanks for the advice and i will talk to a recruiter too
