XO: "Sir. We got the new exoskeletons in. You can carry 100lbs and run with it no problem. It's pretty freakin' cool!"
CO: "How much can you carry and still walk. It sure would be awesome if each man could carry 3 extra mortar rounds, and 200rds of 7.62. We could extend the time between re-supply significantly. First Sergeant..."
Joe: "Fuuuuuuuu........"

2 days into mission....
First Sergeant: "Sir, half of 1st Platoon's EXOSK systems are broken, and they've re-distributed the loads to the working ones. The batteries are draining 300% faster than normal, so we need batteries and replacement parts now. Here's the re-supply request list, fully annotated according to the Battalion EXOSK resupply request decision tree matrices that those desk jockeys at Brigade came up with."
CO: "Were these properly 2404'd before we left? I thought every EXOSK was good-to-go, Top."
