Was talking with some friends in the Guards recently and they were telling me about how
much fairly essential kit is either not supplied or if it is is so useless that practically everyone
gets their own substitute which can be quiet expensive. The chat got me wondering what the
story with the PDF is now, I know the amount of kit issued and its quality has come on leaps and bounds in recent years but I wonder what sort of fairly essential items are still not issued like say a good torch or a good rugged watch or whatever and what is usually substituted for a better alternative i.e. boots, daysacks etc
Too simplify the question I suppose the post could be entitled 'what YOU need to buy to get by whilst serving in the PDF'
If we could keep it to the PDF that'd be great I think everyone knows the story with the reserve
Cheers
