Hey all,
I know that a lot of kit gets discussed in this forum, and that there are a lot of people who own a whole lot of kit. I was just wondering if we've even allowed to bring our own ballistic armour and our own load bearing kit. I was talking to Martin from Dave's Surplus, and he says that he had HSGI make up some Weesatchs and others in CADPAT for CDN soldiers going over to Astan. It's just that I haven't actually seen any soldiers in ANY pictures wearing anything other than the issued TV. Is there a reason why? Promo shots with only issue kit? Different units and different RSM's?
A sgt at my unit has his own Diamond Back plate carrier with multi-hit plates. Are we allowed to bring those overseas? Thanks!
And I know, I'm just a reserve Pte., but I was just wondering and looked around the forums, but still couldn't find a definite answer. So I guess I'm mostly referring to aftermarket armour, like PSP or CPC, and aftermarket load bearing/plate carriers, like Eagle or Diamond Back.
Thanks again.
God Bless
