.......you have ever played Twister fully tooled up.

 

......when people ask you why you have so much gear you refuse to answer for the sake of Opsec.

 

....you always carry a canteen/camelback on your person.

 

....you always carry an E&E kit.

 

....one of the only reasons you use the internet is to look for more gear.

Apologies to Rudyard Kipling.

 

"If"

If you wear a MICH helmet when all about you

Are wearing caps and laughing at you;

If you can trust your holster when all men doubt theirs,

But had to pay eighty pounds for the privelige;

If you can skirmish and not be tired by skirmishing,

Because you have a Camelbak and expensive boots,

Or, being hated, don't give way to neg repping,

And yet look too good, and talk too wise;

 

If you can dream of gear - and those dreams become your master;

If you can think - and make thoughts your aim through an authentic ACOG;

If you can meet with Viper and UTG

And treat those two imposters just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken

Twisted by knaves to mock WEESATCH,

Or watch the things you gave your life to broken,

And stoop and build without acknowledging that a cheaper item would've been as good;

 

If you can make one heap of all your gear

And find it fills half your house,

And the shed, and still not have enough

And accept you might have more than you need;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew

To keep buying 5.11 trousers instead of food,

And so hold on when there is no money for rent

Because that little HaVoC voice says: "Hold on";

 

If you can talk with SeALS and have them think you are sad,

Or walk with Delta and say they aren't authentic;

If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you;

Because bbs bounce off your authentic body armour;

If you can fill the unforgiving STAR lo cap

With thirty bbs worth of plastic death

Yours is the Gear Forum and everything that's in it,

And - which is more - you'll be a Geardo my son!
