Shouldn't whoever issued it be able to show you how to use it?

Don't take this the wrong way, cause we all know the US army is the best trained etc, but I had to laugh when I see this guy can't dress himself

Funny you mention body armor. Maybe you heard being from the cape and all.



Just yesterday a guy ran into a local strip club "The Foxy Lady" with body armor and an AR-15.



Killed 2, then died on an exchange with police.

I think it is supposed to look like this when assembled?

I like how it has a part that hangs down and protects your privates.
