Considering on ops you are going to be giving at least 1 set of orders a day as a platoon commander stuff like nail polish remover is absolutely essential. (using nail polish remover and lumocolours is what is thaught at sandhurst)Last edited by Turncoat; 5 March 2009, 09:25.Faugh A Ballagh

during a patrol or an operation
why not wait till you get back to base and then use the cheap aftershave etc
thats what we uSoldiers on overseas missions used to do-and it worked well for us
and we learned the trick from our neighbours
why- how do you Yachtmen do itThings 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.

Yea they are trying to force use of just TAM's
However inserts for orders and estimates are ok apparently. As long as its in the TAM its ok.
Yes youre right lumicolour dosent work in the rain. For that eventuality carry some chinagraph pencils and a few plastic sheets from an gpmg ammo box. My last tewt was done in rain so severe the waterproof notepad wasnt working, the chinagraphs/plastic still works!Faugh A Ballagh

I've been using Faber-Castell Multimark permanent pens, have to say they're the business. I had no luck with Chinagraph pens as they tended to smudge when applied to documents I'd have in my pockets. They have a small rubber on the back as well that works fine.

A work colleague (ex TA) has also mentioned chinagraph pencils.
Will look into it...
TBH, I haven't been out in a torrential downpour (thankfully) as yet, to test the
efficiency, or otherwise, of the Lumocolour pens.Last edited by Truck Driver; 5 March 2009, 18:30."Well, stone me! We've had cocaine, bribery and Arsenal scoring two goals at home.

Should be a mixture of markers & Chinagraph.
When marking maps etc. if a marker touches even 1 rain droplet, it is useless. Chinagraph works everywhere.
I use a mixture of both & different colours.
Also, nail polish remover pads. Small, light and easy to use.
