Giving yourself injuries suffient to get medboarded out does NOT win 
respect.  It makes you a laughingstock.  Knowing your limits is a far, 
far better thing.  I don't know what MPs normally lug, but it can't be 
that heavy--they do have Hummers organic to their unit.  And for 
Christ's sake, a company commander never has to haul _that_ much.
