Occasionally = often. Even when you're watching out for it.

That's grim. How were they killed? Lack of funding, or outright rejection?

Sorry, I didn't get to that. I wish I would have touched it etc. Honestly, it looked very similar. I am hoping that it's better built.

These are all fair points. However, Logistik is already providing a lot of this stuff on a trial basis to the Army and is the CAF's clothing producer. I am not sure it makes any sense to compare them to, say, BAE or General Dynamics, though that could entirely be out of ignorance to me. The...

See kit pictures - there is a chest rig, a plate carrier and a battle belt. The gloves are also fantastic, being developed in concert with Kombi. Merino wool liner, multiple systems that fit together etc. Overall very much heartening stuff.

I spoke to the Logistik project manager of the operational clothing & equipment for the SOCEM / CCUE (Canadian Combat Uniform Ensemble). He spent 22 years in the Army before working there, and remains a member of the militia (IE still invested) and is both very enthusiastic and very pleased with...

They had some really good kit out today. The program manager for operational kit & clothing at Logistik is former military and was very proud of what they've got on trial. Now it's up to the government to fund it.

None whatsoever. The pers who were there were all civilian Logistik employees, badging etc was not in their wheelhouse. They are simply charged with the development, trialling and production of the service dress uniform itself.

I mentioned the Strathcona's and RCEME because that's what I was directly told. I assume it's being piecemealed, some by regiment, some by Corps. Not sure about any more details. As for shoes, from what I saw it looked like no change.

I bring glad tidings of comfort and joy. I am told that the project is at the 98% approval stage, and that all is on track. Timelines were very very vague - something like the next couple of years. The individual talking to me mentioned that unlike with previous iterations of uniforms, this one...

Yes. Former JNCO at 2 PPCLI and then SNCO at the GGFG. He works at Army HQ and does the Army Podcast as a secondary thing, out of the goodness of his own heart.

That's never happened before, and surely our professional, serious government would not apply such logic now.

I am not an aviator by any means, but Boeing has had some incredible problems with cutting corners and poor worksmanship for a while now. I would be unsurprised if this was related.

A bit of an aside, and I'm not sure that anyone would dispute this - but I believe it is fairly clear that nobody was a big winner, or even a winner in unification. It was universally poorly received and still manages to affect us to the day, nearly sixty years later.
