  • why not a simple tanker suit like aircrew flight suits...obviously adapted as required for mounted ops and in dpm?

    plenty of off the shelf stuff out there i'm sure.
    APC crews and AFV crews alike can be dismounted in the event a of avehicle going u/s and would require the same equipment as the dismountable attachment, thats the logic behind not wearing flying suits and overalls..quite simple.

      • Director of administration memorandum of information 07/11 for the new DPM fleece is up on "Connect live" in a Bks near you.
        It states.
        1/ The fleece will only be worn with field dress.
        2/ The fleece is classed as an outer/inner garment (IE it can be worn as either).
        3/ When worn it is to be zipped up.
        4/ Rank markings and nametags will be worn on it.
        5/ When worn with the DPM shirt the shirt will be tucked in.

        The fleeces are being distributed to the various stores around the country at the moment as are the new style smock.Their appears to be some delay with the shirts.

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.

        • sounds good APOD, you have already seen our new stuff (i'm glad you haven't copied it!) - we can't really wear ours as an outer garment so if you have something you can do both with then that's handy.

            The fleeces have already started to be issued to people in the Brugha. We had our sizes taken for them last week with the view to getting them next week probably.

            Looking forward to seeing how the new smocks are, hopefully an improvement to what we have at the moment.

            • Yeah mate but dont be too sad.Some of the new items ye are getting have some really well thought out design features( Mandarin collars/standardised sleeve pockets/shrouded buttons and compass pockets etc etc) whereas we seem to be going forwards with some items(new fleece) and backwards with others (new shirts).I also dont see the point in all our various layers having a large tri-colour on them.You only need one on your outer garment.
              An issue similar to the nametags(pack of three.male velcro attached)would have covered that.

                • Any chance of throwing a pic of the new gear up APOD-

                  dont thow pictures of our new highly secretive above ground personal tranportation devises.
                  Things 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.

                    are yours also going down the 'velcro biceps' route that we and many other armies have?

                    makes sense nowadays with the amount of flashes required for ops.

                        Nope.All that is on the sleeve of the new Fleece is a prestitched tricolour.We still havent copped onto velcro panels yet

                          • better off without the velcro biceps....the amount of badges worn by some militarys is ridiculous nowadays. thank you americans!
                            An army is power. Its entire purpose is to coerce others. This power can not be used carelessly or recklessly. This power can do great harm. We have seen more suffering than any man should ever see, and if there is going to be an end to it, it must be an end that justifies the cost. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain

                            • Velcro on the sholder would be a good idea with the size of the new tricolour, they aren't going to be very tactical
                              What are you cackling at, fatty? Too much pie, that's your problem.
