More than likely inexperienced non field marines. I would put my life savings on that. Most grunts can hump any mountain in their sleep, with 5 times the amount of gear a civilian takes with them. These guys now are humping in afghanistan....100+lbs of gear and ammo on their backs, 30 miles a day, while getting shot at.


Welcome to the boards Devil Dog :D

Yeah, that was the first thing I thought..that a grunt would be humping other things, not mountains in their free time :shock:
