There's 3 platoons per company. 3 squads per platoon. 3 fire teams per squad. 3 men (+1 fire team leader) per fire team. I've carried the SAW before. Right of passage so to say. I.E. Newbies get smaller bikes, there newbies get the luxury of carrying the heaviest weapon. If they can't make you smarter....they'll make you stronger....
Nah...I carried it for the Mountain Warfare Training Center when we went. Definitely good firepower when it ain't broke.
