They'll never let him in a bank in that!'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

The Don has gone far too Call of Duty these days. Next guy i see with a folded up boonie hat, I'll slap him......back in the day, anyone who came near a helicopter with a scarf would have got a foot up the arse. Buy a toque or a polo neck, ye eejit, if you're cold. Too many people concentrating on being fashion victims instead of professionals. rant mode switched to normal.

Love to know where they got the new MOLLE type vests,how much they cost, and how come they are rated for use when the near identical Lowe alpine one they bought first wasn't??"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.

Yeah, the poor bugger isn't let out without the helmet in case he scares the locals on the islands. Which says a lot. The vests are Dutch I believe. Or same as the Dutch ones. Don't know. Couldn't care less as long as they got one after the debacle that was the ACJ version of the Lowe.

Begs the question.Was anyone in the AC with knowledge of flight safety rules regarding crew equipment RE FR consulted before the Lowe vests were ordered??
If not someone need there ass kicked for wasting tax payers money!!!
(BTW Loving the new vests.Are those pockets for ballistic plates built in??)"Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman.
