Good choice of vest, Wade. I already use an Omega vest, its good kit, but mine's the one with three rifle mag pouches at bottom left. I like the mag pouches for use with a flashlight or knife. I made the mistake of buying mine in black though, so it does look "terribly tactical"
Last time I wore it when out with my mates, one of the cheeky sods actually said "Woah, dude! Theres a bomb on the bus!" (as in "Speed"!) LOL
I wouldnt mind but Im sure the Tac guys in "Speed" werent wearing Blackhawk kit. Though, Im sure ALL vests look the same to "sheeple". I use a tan 5.11 vest too, love that but its abit heavy, and my so-called friends then keep asking me if Im "going fishing!"
