I learned a lot of things from the military:
1. Anything important should be tied down. Anything really important should be attached to your body in such a way that it won't be lost if you are to fall out of a plane in the middle of the night.
2. Keeping MRE entree pouches against your ribs in subzero weather ensures that you'll have a warm meal later. I used to keep a #7 real close to my heart.
3. 123-cell batteries, Red Bull, 550 cord rolls, and multitools are the best wampum ever. Somebody always wants them and is willing to trade for 'em.
4. M112 works better if you cut the block in half and stack the halves on top of each other.
5. Anybody wearing a lot of high speed GI Joe gear that has a matching camo pattern or isn't filthy is a probably a douchebag and should be treated as such.
6. The hardest part of any deployment is coming home.

Armored industry? You mean those breadboxes that move money?
