I notice a couple of you mentioned that "extra gear," when its full tilt and someone is actually trying to break you off... I got mine a workout a time or two in the Marines myself. Ended up getting peeled off a guy I was trying to throw down a flight of stairs (the stairs were there!) in a two on one scrap at the barracks one time and I also participated in (okay, STARTED) a platoon on platoon scrap in Yuma one time. I suppose all of these ruffians taught me to keep my head on a swivel when there are bodies all over the place...
I hear you there, I got into a company scrap my platoon commander started on one of our field ops! You really learn how to watch everything at once almost. So much fun, I ended up having a few gnarly scratches across my face from that field op... right before my wedding... the wife was so mad. Her mother had some sort of pink cream, she put it on my cuts, and they were gone the next day... I was honestly a little irritated, I wanted my battle scars lol
