Whatever it takes to lighten the load will be much appreciated by the Infantry and those ammo bearers.
In the Marine Corps’ rush to drop weight, one of the most beloved and storied pieces of gear could be left behind. At the service’s first Equipping the Infantry Challenge here Sept. 27, program managers said they’re looking for a lighter, more practical alternative to the iconic ammunition can.

It's funny to hear that they'd want to replace ammo cans when half of our annual physical requirements revolve around the ammo cans. It's a shame though because ammo cans are so light. It's what's in the ammo cans that make them appear heavy and I don't know anyone who would want to walk into combat with less ammunition. But hell, if we're getting rid of them, send a few my way. I can use them when I train my girls to be Marines.

Yes, Cpl Justin Goolsby, I'll bet they can't wait for that training. I'll bet whoever makes them for the military doesn't want to hear about the Corps dropping them.
