There was an incident during a training exercise where a Marine got his gear all tangled up. His rifle strap was caught on his backpack, and his canteen was hanging off his belt at a weird angle.

The whole squad couldn't help but laugh, and even the instructor had a chuckle once he made sure the Marine was okay.
