I do believe it is in regards to the life insurance. <br /><br />I was issued a plate carrier during deployment which was a thousand times better than the IOTV. SFC Marc W.

It better be DA /DOD approved, cause if it fails you- the service does not have to cover your medical bills- so check damn close above all.

The best thing you could probably invest in is a battle belt. They&#39;re amazing and really do wonders for reducing the stress and wear on your shoulders, even with the IOTV.
