I' ve seen personnel who, because of the size shirt they were fitted for, would have
shirt hems which would just about cover the belt buckle of the trousers
A shorter shirt could make this different
New Trousers have Zipped side pockets and elasticated draw cords
still get the trouser legs tailored and eleasticated to suit their leg length as before, so
I would say the elasticated draw cords are a waste
I would also say that while they were redesigning the DPM kit items, the Procurement
folks could have sourced decent web belts to wear with the DPM kit, the old green
cloth belts are not suitable for this purpose, IMO
Overseas flash on everything from new DPM t shirt up.(which will have velcro on the chest for rank marking)
all the kit is a waste, I think
Same for the Norwegian
I am actually wondering if those in the loop actually solicited feedback
from the "boots on the ground", as they did when they selected the
Steyr AUG in the 80s as the Defence Forces new rifle - something that
pretty much everyone agrees was done well
