"Go Gear" for guys that want to set something up to train with (armor related)

[Diamondback]

Well, here we go... some "battlefield improv-inspired" MacGyvering here, and of course the weak link in the gear is the potato stuffed inside it.

Carrier: Eagle Industries Maritime CIRAS - a surplus wholesaler I've dealt with before. Missing plates/soft armor and crotch protector, all I have here is the basic carrier itself. Question: What all other components do I need to bring it back up to issue config?
TAP: Ibiley USMC Chest Rig, MacGyvered to CIRAS with its own suspenders. I have the plate-carrier adapters somewhere around here but no idea where, so this seemed like the kind of "Improvise Adapt Overcome" a grunt might do in the field. Right shoulder strap is exposed to allow MOLLE access for TQ carrier. Equipment/canteen pouch weak-side (my right), 2 frag pouches (one with Streamlight Sidewinder light), IFAK strongside.
Belt: USMC MOLLE Padded Warbelt, some MacGyvering using top-row MOLLE to secure suspenders. OKC-3S sheath not attached since bayonet stays with my rifle. Dump pouch on weakside has one MOLLE strap MacGyvered to hold it on--this is deliberate for testing people. "There is one component in this kit that fails inspection and should be returned to the quartermaster for replacement. What is it and what is the defect?"

Damn heavy, and not even any armor in it yet--really need to find more info about how the CIRAS emergency release separates so I can make sure it still works with all the crap hung off it.



Yes, I know I need a haircut--I'm stating to feel like I'm turning into a hippie and my barber's out on vacation.
