I run a quick check of my equipment, My UMP sub machine gun was in perfect working order, like a fine tuned insturment, my 1911 pistol just as well cared for, it's lazer grip and tactical light tightly afixed. I also slip a 'Zat' gun into it's holster, a small combat pack holding food, C4 and det-cord, ammo, and some other kit, all sitting over a camel back water pouch, and a ballistics vest designed to stop staff blasts, it was a prototype and only FGODD members had them. I ensure that my radio and other gear has fresh batteries and i have spairs, my knife sharp and clean, my hat in a loop on my shoulder. I do all of this in a corner of the equipment room, eyeing the rest of the team as i get ready.
