In any case, this stuff looks like it would really be cool to use. Enhanced SA is good. Total SA is best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrainerModel Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 About 2/3 of that stuff would likely be left at the FOB by the ground guys because of weight. Still cool ideas, geeky name though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BQZip01 Posted May 24, 2012 Share Posted May 24, 2012 (edited) About 2/3 of that stuff would likely be left at the FOB by the ground guys because of weight. Still cool ideas, geeky name though I've met the individual pictured in the sand box with some of their gear (to include the eyepiece). These additions can be quite useful and help the warfighter (actual warfighter, not a Finance troop). The computers they showed were indeed what we were using circa 2004-2005 and to see the stuff miniaturized even further is astounding. On a related note, why do we have to come up with cutesy acronyms (that don't even line up). Why not just field the damn thing with a simple, military-esque designation (like "KYK-13"). Our guys are going to come up with a better name than "BATMAN" anyway. Can you imagine at the end of the day when someone asks you to get BATMAN off so you can have your turn?
