Boonie Hat,Elmer Fudd and the waterproof gloves were all supposed to be produced in NSV-DPM.
What happened? The bean counters get in the way?"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.

What happened? The bean counters get in the way?'He died who loved to live,' they'll say,
'Unselfishly so we might have today!'
Like hell! He fought because he had to fight;
He died that's all. It was his unlucky night.

It doesn't look that bad. But when do they wear it, just on ships or all the time?
I wonder is there any merit in a Naval Issue beanie? Customs have a nice fleece one, handy for wearing under hard hats etc...Last edited by na grohmiti; 22 September 2019, 13:26.For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

It will be an official DF operational uniform same as the green DPM.
That means besides serving overseas with land troops in a Battalion, it will be worn for everything else.
From what i hear, it can be worn in overseas HQ appointments i.e. UNIFIL HQ, KFOR etc in lieu of the green DPM.

Will cover all types of duties in the NS.
When on general issue, the only time green DPM will be worn is on a Land Overseas Deployment.

I still can't understand why the elmer fudd hat is not going to be produced in NSV DPM. Surely that item would benefit those up on deck in cold wet weather?
Is NS FWG worn ashore for normal duties? Is it worn for ranges?"Let us be clear about three facts. First, all battles and all wars are won in the end by the infantryman.

The current issue FWG and other NS specific items will be issued until stocks have been exhausted.
Work will continue on the replacement of FWG and other items. What I understand is that they will continue with the DPM pattern for these items.
On a personal note, it's disappointing that the barrack jacket is being discontinued.
