Hello,
Well last parade nite (yesterday), our reserve Infantry unit got some CADPAT in. Mainly the bigger/taller guys. Now I have a question about issueing CADPAT. Our first parade day of the fall, everyone except QL2 personel were sized for the CADPAT order. After a couple weeks, someone decieded that QL2 pers. can be fitted for CADPAT, but not issued until QL3 qualified.
Myself not having my Infantry MOC yet, am in the situation where I have the old OD‘s. However, my unit deceided that I could be issued Gortex Boots and Undies, but not the new Gortex Combat Jacket (They were going to issue them, but their wasnt enough).
Now my question is this: how does the ordering process work? I mean, is "who gets what" deceided by individual unit brass, or is it higher up? I‘m thinking that if their is CADPAT just sitting in stores - why not issue it to everyone? Or is it so scarce that every soldier‘s has to be individually ordered?
Don‘t get me wrong, I‘d love to get my CADPAT, but I am just curious. It would suck to have to wait almost a full year within my CADPAT clad (well only partially clad, for now), while us QL2‘ers stick out like a sore thumb in our OD.
Thanks!
