The Librarian said:Uhhh, no thanks. We've already been there and as one who was part of the trials run on those puppies...
PPCLI Guy said:Which puppies exactly?
The Librarian said:LOL, I have no puppies to speak of. I refer to the proposed combat bra (and it's various ineffective designs) as 'those puppies.'
And hey, if they can't make them work for 'lil old me...they won't work for anyone!!
Hollywog said:Was it 10,000,000 they threw away on them? Could have been used on actual military kit, but that's not as politically correct.
The Librarian said:Hmmm, I just find your comment "actual military kit" funny seeing as how we've been buying and issuing the boys boxers for eons. I'd argue that female underwear is just as essential a piece of "kit." Why is male underwear OK....is it politically correct? Just a point to ponder. Just because youy don't wear a bra...doesn't mean it's not important, especially while running, marching etc (especially as we women discover gravity!! ).
Glad though that they eventually settled on the BTU Allowance we females receive...so we can buy what actually works for us.
Hollywog said:I guess I'm looking from the wrong angle, oops.
As a reservist decades ago we bought our own gitch.
did they spend that develop boxers for the guys? My understanding was the 10m was on R&D not just purchases.
PS I never wore the wool socks either. Those I was issued.

BYT Driver said:I must ask this one, stupid as it may be, do they still have the combat bra in the system and issue them? I heard that most girls found them extremely uncomfortable and ill-fitting?
Cheers,
interesting subject ??
