Well not going to say that it will not work but at my age I shure could use one and no the young Marines just need to suck it up and do the PFT just like the rest of us other wise we are going to start calling them all woosies.:banana:
Is this a serious question?

No!!! I just thought it was some tricked out technology.
It's wild how Sci Fi ends up to be fact.

And if the young Marines don't do the pft. There just going to turn into fat boddies. Marine Corps dosen't need that. And then what!

This system is to allow the Soldier/Marine to push beyond normal capabilities.
I was being facetious about PFT.:scared:

I could see the Army using this....never in the Corps though!

So what happens when the computer or hydraulics get shot? Is the army going to teach every soldier how to fix these stupid things too?
Is there a quick-release system for an injured person? Looks great on paper (and in video) but I never see this being relevant to real life.
