Everything has it pros and con... that tact vest is surely better than the old webbing we had. Of course it could have been better but like everything in the army we will have people that prefer something else. Somes regular combat arms units dont have it yet but be sure that they will get it issued before doing any operations. Maybe they dont even want them because they have their own personnal tactical vest that they find better suited for the job they have to do.
webbing to tactical vest?

Considering the CADPAT has been out since 1999/2000 and there are still soldiers wandering around Gagetown and LFCA in re-enactor/legacy combats I would not recommend holding your breath for the TV.
I had one on deployment and turned it in when I returned in the spring. Did infantry 6B's in the summer. The TV is better on the offence and obviously better in vehicles. The 84 pattern is better in the defense. Brit chest rig is better every time.
I would suggest that politics and political correctness have nothing to do with the scale of issue at the reserve and regular level. We should call a spade a spade and chalk it up to incompetence at the national level. We can winge on about who has what, but in the end we are a gypsy army that cannot uniform a standing military of 60,000 over the course of 5 years.
Highland regiments excluded (grin), some standard uniformity should be high on the priority of any military.

What is that all about?? The "shoulder rig" is called a "yoke", you also need the straps. You can not wear the mag pouches with out it. Good luck!
The Tac Vest is the best thing since sliced bread.

For combat arms units only. The others use the M7 in either M8A1 or M10 scabbards (black or green), either US marked or Australian marked with the 'crowsfoot'.
The M9s are mainly Buck contracts are are Australian identified with that bloody crows foot. Replacement blades and scabbards are trickling in without the Aussie proprty mark, and some blades are black.
Here is a pic of the bayonet up close. A little blurred but you can see the crows foot.
