The CADPAT Answer

[Lost_Warrior]

I don't have OD Combats though.  I am fully supplied in CADPAT now.

The only things I dont have are the new gortex clothing.  They don't give me those until im qualified.

Some guys from 1 AD on BMQ with me had everything except CADPAT combats.  They had all the gore-tex kit as well as the tacvest but with the old OD's.  Looked pretty funny.

I'm keeping my OD's

That way 20 years from now I could really be an old fart, randomly showing up to garrison with OD's  ;D

You may have your tac vest now, but your course staff may decide you should have webbing like the rest. I know a guy who showed up for course with his fancy new vest and was told to get his but to stores for some good old fashioned webbing. ;D

No more socks, wool, grey? They were a good piece of kit. I still have afew good pair. What replaced 'em? I think they had become a CF icon as they had been around since WW1. Man, the worn has turned for me over this news :-\

Cheers,

I have to go to work on thursday to find out if I am allowed to get mine before summer training. A few guys were issued it because theyre OD combats didnt fit them, and all the OD's in supply were thrown out, so they had no choice but to get cadpat. when they walked in we all got in shit. so hopefully we will be allowed on thursday.

The Canadian Army no longer has socks, but a "sock system".  Black inner, OD outer.

[Stakhanov]

[SFontaine]

When do I get my FREAKIN gun?!

I told you, you don't get your gun until you tell me your name.

I've had it up to HERE with your "RULES"

That's what I did, but when it come to gear, if it's on order but not in yet you're SOL.

infact I went down there for some small supplies and just for the heck of it asked if they had any cadpat and they happened to have my size! So i ran home and got my old ODs and got my new stuff.

So, if the you need something the QM doesn't have, bug him until he does have it! then find a new thing you need!

 

[SOLDIER702]

;DYay, I'm so happy that I get CADPAT. They needed to phase out the OD stuff anyway, its just so outdated. Now we have an army that looks like an army! :soldier:

 

[AlphaCharlie]

hmm... dam! cadpat is stiff as all heck when you get it!! the pants are kinda tight, but the only other size was 38 and that's huge

Before we ended for the summer my unit had some tac vests down in stores (14 of em, apparently that was all of the Tac Vests in 32CBG, I doubt that though).  The plan was we get lectures on how to "safely" use them, and then starting in the fall we would be issued them but would have to sign them out from the RQ for each Ex to make sure none got "lost".

As all the troops who serve the Guns will tell you the best part about CADPAT is it's ability to hide all grease and oil stains. Wonderful stuff now we can shred the enemy and look tidy doing it.
