Oh yeah. Your first term of service is NOT actually 5 years as some people think. It's 12.

5 years full time and 7 reserve. Some lad who left and went to try to join up in other Militaries before...

Admin Instruction A9 amended with pictures of all, the DF approved Unit flashes/subdued flashes/Lanyards and Rank Markings.

I had some fun during the week telling the lads who had bought their own...

Not the new ones. Funny though. On the tender it stated spare laces were supposed to be supplied with. I wonder where that went pear shaped?

I also wonder would it be worth buying a multipack or...

Then you would be wrong. On both counts. There is always a shortage of us Grunts.A Battalion NEVER has it's full strength available to the C.O let alone it's establishment. You take out Pers...

That's a real A******e post if ever there was one. You must be real popular with your peers. Under Regulations he should have been issued the boots if he met the requirements.Period.His branch of the...

You an RDFRA member? If so what did they do about this??
What did your OC do? Your CS? Your CQ?? Did you just accept the BS and walk away or fight your ground. Nothing will come of nothing.

Ok,Are AR issued OPS Boots? Yes. Under certain circumstances.
So.It stands to reason that if the Haix scouts are what is on issue as OPS boots then you will be allowed to wear them(remember the old...

Fixed. My bad.



The only people supposed to have them were issued them for overseas missions (but had to retain them on return home pending the rollout to everyone else) .They were not...

Of course not.That would make sense. 2.5 Cm below the highest point of the shoulder seam.

That might work with the smock or older shirts,but you will need to attach soft velcro first,but there is...

Who the FCUK proofs reads these things before they go live on the system :rolleyes:

Kiwis are looking at something similar.

Indeed.Which looks shit. Honestly I just don't get why all our outer Garments(tops) can't have a similar pocket layout. Except for the stupid field dressing pocket on right forearm of the new smock...

I think we were both in agreement but didn't realise it. My argument is exactly that. Give us two Bicep pockets for bulkier items(if not for symmetry) but KEEP a pen pocket also.My suggestion is the...

Dunno.

There is talk of a new helmet and it was looked at by the Body armour review board. Probably a seperate tender.

No mate.Your'e wrong.

What happens when you put a pen in a NORMAL sleeve pocket?? It moves around.That's what. Jamming into you at all the wrong angles and making it harder to get out quickly when you need it.

Nah. If you are going to go private purchase go the whole hog.
