Getting seyntex to make "ranger" pants like arktis make for the wing to match the ubacs would effectively make a combat dress, just issue to inf, cav etc, bods on courses and the overseas crew. Leave the rest of the uniform as the mincing around the barracks rig with the barracks jacket.Everyone who's ever loved you was wrong.

Am thinking the MOU with our colleagues across the water is pushing this.
Isn't the Haix Tibet (or a version of it) one of the five available issue boot types to the British Armed Forces?
As it is, a soft Haix boot is now on issue for overseas (well at least one of the lads at my callsign got a set anyway)Last edited by Truck Driver; 26 May 2017, 21:26."Well, stone me!

The new Dress Codes have gone live on IKON. DCoS SP,J1 page.
RSM Kitchener's swan song before he hangs up his beloved cane and becomes the full time poet of the drop short corps.
Anyway.Basically they are visual depictions of each items of dress across all services and corps and how and when they should be worn.What I want to know is how official they are IE Will wear that way as opposed to should.Moot point as they are obsolete already in some cases. Norgie being withdrawn for example."Let us be clear about three facts.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.

I'm not sure if they're personal to the wearer or come along with the car but a lot of the crewman helmets in the mowags overseas in friends photos from their trip are in shocking condition. The entire finish gone on the helmet, god knows what the rest of it is like. They're in worse condition than the shitty ex pdf horse riding helmets that the RDF/FCA used till "single force concept"Last edited by The real Jack; 6 June 2017, 18:41.Everyone who's ever loved you was wrong.

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.
