Yup. They're issuing it to pers proceeding on Athena.....
False : This is not the new rain gear. This is DropZone Tactical Recce Smock in AR CADPAT. They are not 100% waterproof. This smock is issued to Op. Athena Soldiers only.

The guys in the picture are wearing the new AR CADPAT Raingear. How do I know? For one thing, I know what I had issued to me.
DannyBoy said:My Platoon 2ic is in the clothe the soldier program Ive seen alot of the gucci kit that they are developing. He brings alot of it to the unit exercises. He brought the rain gear on one of our exercises and it looks like a nifty peace of kit that i wouldn't mind borrowing from him for an extended period of time
Scaddie said:I recently recieved my joining instructions for ARCON this year, and it mentioned on the kit list that we should have been issued newer raingear, because the old stuff is deemed unfit. So I'm really confused, I only have the OD rain gear, is this the newer issue?
