I found a few pictures of my toys that I thought you guys&gals might like to see. The first 2 are of my baby, 04 QC. The next 2 are of my bike and the crew i work with on an army base in the iraq area. Let me know what you think.

Nice truck and bikes! As a Navy sailor, we are all trained and such on firefighting but we never had to wear bullet proof vests during our job.[:'(] But, as you stated about your location I understand the reason... does the vest hinder movement at all though when your all suited up including the OBA on your back?

 

Looks nice.

But most importantly, thank you for your service!

 

Both look sweet.

 

Mike,
The vests do not hinder movement much but the added weight kind of takes the bounce out of your step. Our gear is sized a little bigger to allow for the body armor. The real draw back is when its 140 out and we have to wear all the gear. As for wearing it with the SCBA or OBA for the navy, the pack doesnt sit quite like its supposed to but its bearable. Did you ever make it over here?
