Sure we can. We just have to buy more tacticooler stuff than everyone else. We have to tacticool our tacticool shiz. So, like hard helmet with flip up NVG;s, while wearing TWO droplegs, carrier with 16 mags, shotgun sleeve with a Mossberg cruiser with a rail and red dot, shotgun bandolier, 8 pistol mags anc knee, shin and ankle guards to go with our shoulder, elbow and wrist guards.
Dude... we can TOTALLY do this.
EDIT: Found our rifle:
There will be candid photography? Well, I guess I'll have to wear the balaclava for sure now. Should I cut the chin out so my tactical goatee shows? I don't usually do that at classes but when I'm on Ops that's SOP, and since they say "always train how I fight".... It would be nice if someone would make a face mask that is "beard ready."
tacticool - I really would like too see some of cool guys spend about 12-14 hours in full kit at about 100 degrees. Oh then by the way you have night fire so you get to spend another few hours in gear. Then get to do it all over again for a week! I still cringe when I pass by my gear hanging in the garage.
I think I am jaded when it comes to range attire. I spent 24 years of my life in the U.S. ARMY from 17 to 43. I only wore what was needed. I have visited a civillan range and have seen some strange things. Why would you wear ACH to a range if you didn't need too ? Also why carry like 5 magazines for a pistol ? It's a secondary weapon used to get you out of trouble if you primary goes down.
How did I ever survive I carried the magazine that was in the pistol and one extra. If only had I known!
All kidding aside (typing fast because I don't know how long I can hold out) I do love a lot of mags at the range. Less mag loading = more training time. I'll show up at the range with 10 mags, three on the belt and a couple shoved in pockets or other place I normally stash them in EDC. Also, for most of us a pistol is the primary since we can't carry a rifle around....
IME most of the guys who show up in the really odd stuff have never done FoF training. That'll streamline your kit really fast.
Having said that, I'm really dying to gear up like professor Zero and shout out some crazy tactical **** the next time I go out. I wonder how much it costs to get some fake NVG....
So, what is a worse INGOSIN? Wearing all your tactical crap to a training class or not training in all your tactical crap?

I bet one dollar that is not the only skirt George owns.
I have about 8 or nine. Sorry for those "men" who don't have the balls to wear one Guys make fun and chicks dig them and say so in front of the boys they are with that poke fun. They say "what's under the kilt" and I say "your mother's lipstick"
...
I wear them all the time, not just dressing up for St Patty's Day.- George
