We're out of stock.

What are ARes recruits supposed to wear during BMQ?

It's not a british uniform. It's an updated version of the uniform worn by the Canadian Army in the inter-war period, which was unique to the Canadian army

Way before my time.

Ill let you know RCN wise soon. We're finally doing our own Naval oriented basic trg; and I am involved in the initial set up from a sustainment stand point.

One problem that has arisen lately is an L1 or an element of one will do something like this but forget they need to utilize stock or resources that is managed/controlled by another L1. BMQ is a great example as it uses a large amount of army field kit to achieve its aims. If there is no coordination done the L1 (or element thereof) wanting to run training has experienced difficulty sourcing resources controlled by another group.

You're absolutely correct and this is all part of the reason I am involved and already a topic that has been captured and being worked on, or will be soon.

Having said the intent is to pull away from doing any field or army styled stress training and instead move it to more Naval focused scenarios. So I expect we will be drawing less and less CA kit as this matures.

Coveralls like we did in 1974.

Are they bringing back the British salute, along with the " new" British style uniform.?

I personally believe that a Commonwealth Army has ought to look and act like one. Bringing back the old salute is perfectly acceptable to me. Quite a few people have started around my unit and it's generally been accepted.

Although I am neither in favour of or against changing the salute to the British army salute, the salute as written is palms down, and should be performed correctly. We didn't tolerate our honourary colonel doing a british army salute in uniform, and your unit shouldn't tolerate its actual serving members doing it.
