What should be the quality of the web belt after being adjusted?

The web belt should be tight and secured after being adjusted. A properly fitted web belt is crucial for ensuring that the equipment worn by a Marine remains stable and does not shift during movement or in combat situations. This secure fit prevents any potential distractions or hazards that could arise from loosely fitting gear, which might impede operational effectiveness. A tight and secured belt means that the gear is adequately supported, ensuring readiness and facilitating quick access to essential tools and equipment.

While ease of movement is important, it should not come at the expense of security. A loose belt can lead to equipment bouncing around or becoming dislodged, which is not conducive to combat scenarios. Therefore, the emphasis on having the belt tight and secure is vital for maintaining the overall functionality and safety of the Marine's loadout.
