what could go wrong?

[NMB2]

so, I've been out of the Army for 3 months now... packed on a few pounds enjoying not doing PT anymore, but the fun is over and I've started PT every morning again.

1. The Elevation here SUCKS.... my lungs feel like they are going to explode from my chest.

I would like to start ruck marching/running again and this is where my "what could go wrong" question comes from. Obviously marching with my weapon is now a no-go.... but having my IOTV/ruck on, is there any laws I am breaking? Mainly speaking about having my IOTV on......

Nope, although depending on where you are, it may raise an eyebrow or two. Most of the metro area is pretty Mil friendly.

Nope. I run in my kit all the time. Just use some common sense and don't go running around banks, schools, liberals, etc...

I live up off of 36/broadway. right over by the sportsmans warehouse off of 84th.

Having a loaded IOTV is kind of essential, and I didn't see there being a legality issue, just wanted to check the wealth of knowledge here first.

LOL, there is a school right behind my house. I'll run the other way :P

I think you are asking for problems, you will be stopped and questioned before you make the first trip around the block.
You would draw less attention in a spandex running suit, wrist & ankle weights and a back pack.

Need a partner? I've been thinking about doing this to get my fat ass in shape

You can get one of those running weight vests. Some are adjustable and go over 100 lbs in weight.

You think? There are installations here, I would think a cop would know better than to harass a soldier that's obviously working out. Not really concerned with being harassed if what I'm doing is legal though.

I used to do it in Washington all of the time, but Ft. Lewis was right there and a heavy mil presence. Cops wouldn't even look twice at you.

I'm down.

I looked at those. Not willing to spend the money when I have what I need.

Besides, it doesn't simulate having full battle rattle on.

I was mainly concerned on whether this crazy town had laws against wearing body armor lol. I wouldn't be surprised.

If you were down in CS, or even near Buckley AFB I would think no problems, but after that jerk at the Aurora theater, someone running down the street wearing "body armor"( as all the news outlets called a Tac. vest), you will get plenty of suspicious person calls to your local police.

Keep us informed after your first outing running down the street in Tac gear goes.
