What to Bring:
Full kit- helmet, plate carrier, battle belt, holster etc.
If available: comms radios with headsets
Clear lens eye protection
Ear pro
If you have their own sim bolts and rifles make sure they bring theirs as the MTU ones don’t have any slings or optics on them.
If you have cleaning kits with a bore punch bring that since sim rifles tend to jam up a lot and rounds get stuck in the chamber
Bring what you can, the MTU has some helmets and holsters.
