I just got this off of Facebook. I don't know any specifics on the Soldier, unit or mission, but that is just a KICKASS image! Now, as many of you know, I rail against HALO bashes that are over burdened with excess "cool" gear. If you look at this guy, despite the fact that he is loaded down like an artillery mule, everything on him properly secured, and will still be with him when he hits the ground. And I gotta say, I wish that I was standing on that ramp with him!
