Funny.I remember being out in africa and lads getting a bollocking from the CS for not wearing their base layers going on day patrols.The point was made one day when one lad went down with heat exhaustion on a foot patrol in close jungle.Guess what??
He was the ONLY one on the patrol not wearing his DRIFLO.(We had all taken on tons of water beforehand and been ordered to take a rapolyte beforehand also so we were well prepared)
Timor is not really comparing like with like as the DRIFLO didn't come on stream till 2003.All the lads had in Timor were OG cotton t-shirts which soaked up sweat and retained it.
