Re: Energizer Hard Case Tactical Flashlight
I just asked my Son who is a Scout Sniper in Iraq what type of flashlight he had been issued. His response was "Are you kidding me? They don't issue us flashlights". I was totally caught off guard by that. I know some units get them but I couldn't believe an Airborne special unit wasn't one of them.
I've had to buy him alot of equipment to replace poor quality issue gear, or gear they just don't provide. I guess now I will be looking to get him and the other soldiers in his squad at least a decent AA light. They only have access to AA and AAA batteries otherwise there would be a Gladius on the way to him.
