Good ol' military training. I've been there my friend.
I think the worse I had was 2 miles with 140lbs of gear on after being on duty all day.

what service? is a mk48 a special version 'cuz in my basic/ait i've only known them as m249's. i havent been lucky enough to get close to 20 miles yet but i wish i could have.
just wait till you get to iraq. im in a recon plt and 50lbs is nothing to worry about. ive got that and then some tied up in just my plate carrier. then you throw a few bottles of water, radio, extra mags, extra hedp 203 rounds, bolt cutters or wire cutters, etc etc etc on top of that but you get the picture oh and its getting close to being summer again so its gonna be 130 during the day. dont complain about garrison bs until you know what the meaning of suck really is.

Did a search on the information because I used to carry a M249. Here is what I found:
The MK46 is an M249 variant developed to meet a US Special Operations requirement for a lightweight light machine gun that would retain the intrinsic functionality and reliability of the standard M249. (Available in Black. Flat Dark Earth color availability - TBD).
Weight reduction was achieved by using a new lightweight fluted barrel removing the magazine well and vehicle mounting lugs, and incorporating a titanium bipod.
Unique to the MK46 is the forward rail that accommodate scopes, laser designators and flashlights. It also accommodates a forward pistol grip and has a detachable bipod.
This weapon has been adopted by the US Navy.

hmm, interesting. i mean, i havent been in long so other than m4s, m16 variants, SAWs, 240s, .50 cals and AT4's, i dont know much other than the mk18... found out from a navy classmate in AIT that it's a cut down m4. i didnt realize they'd cut down even more but he said he used them when he used to board vessels.
