So by that rationale operational soldiers are not expected to know rules and Regs is that what you are saying?

"Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman. Secondly, the infantryman always bears the brunt. His casualties are heavier, he suffers greater extremes of discomfort and fatigue than the other arms. Thirdly, the art of the infantryman is less stereotyped and far harder to acquire in modern war than that of any other arm." ------- Field Marshall Wavell, April 1945.

Nope its just taht u seem to know everything about the often less important things. You know what are the regs for the speed of your rank sliders, the colour of your name tag, the size of the writing on your name tag, the diameter of the laces in your type a, A, B, c Boots etc, U know all the important stuff..

I got a look at the "barrack jacket" and the new DPM "Norgie" recently
Very nice bits of kit - the Norgie especially is a much more lightweight
and compactable version of the previous issue"Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!"

C.W,If you go on the OPW website you can find the tenders for all the new Items of kit.I think there was a link posted at the start of this thread.Not sure if anybody ou there has photos though as AFAIK the only people who have seen them are those involved in the clothing supply chain."Let us be clear about three facts.

There is a Velcro tab on it for rank markings (similar setup to the ones the
PDF wear on their Dri Flo tops overseas)
Same issue all over again as with the initial issues of DPM shirt - i.e; having
to stock TWO types of rank marking (Velcro backed and Slider) rather
than one...."Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home. But just when you thought there were truly no surprises left in football, Vinnie Jones turns out to be an international player!" (Jimmy Greaves)!"

I have a special programme to remove redacted markings ( the blacked out part)
in case anyone was wondering what size Shirt APOD got it was :
Maternity.Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere***
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

thanks for the photos apodI knew a simple soldier boy.....
Who grinned at life in empty joy,
Slept soundly through the lonesome dark,
And whistled early with the lark.
In winter trenches, cowed and glum,
With crumps and lice and lack of rum,
He put a bullet through his brain.
And no one spoke of him again.
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when soldier lads march by,
Sneak home and pray you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.
