Who will this shiny piece of kit be issued to?

Us Clothing Stores Supply Techs are keeping them all to ourselves!!  ;D

Patience grasshopper, patience.

Don't be such a tease, come on...

 

[Infanteer]

You guys really are getting a kick out of this aren't you  

Who will this shiny piece of kit be issued to?

Whoever wants to buy it - it will be very indiscreet though, so it may satisfy the RSM better than the Kifaru.

 

[kyleg]

I don't get it. It'll be made available through clothing stores, but we have to buy it?

You made the assumption that it would be available in clothing stores; nobody said that.  AFAIK, this is a private venture.

 

[kyleg]

I made that assumption based on armyvern's post. So what is it?

I don't have a clue what this shiny piece of kit will be but my husband will want one!! The joke in my response was that I am a Supply Tech and you should know that we never give anything out to the troops, unless under the threat of torture!! I'm slamming my own trade here!! Laugh!!

Thanks. That's much better. Now I can relax again.

;D

So did I miss a post or two?

What's the shiny piece of kit for the 64?

 

[kyleg]

No, I don't think you missed anything, they're still holding out on us *shakes fist*

 

[sdimock]

Ok.

I'm breaking down and ordering a complete setup.

OK, we just had a guy come from DLR, (posting) and when asked about the new or interim ruck for the jump companies, he said it was to be the US ALICE pack, which have started to show up, with a new jump ruck "in the future"

Is this what you were holding out on us with?

This was definitely NOT the 'shiney thing' that I was holding out on you guys.  As Mr. T would say: "I pity the fool who has to use the ALICE pack".
If anybody's interested in what the 'shiney thing' is, pm me.

 

[Arctic Acorn]

Does this have anything to do you being a "DND Licensed CADPAT Aftermarket Kit Manufacturer", perchance?

:dontpanic:

 

[Matt_Fisher]

As I mentioned earlier, PM me for details.  8)

 

[noneck]

I e-mailed Matt and it was worth it, the "shiny thing" looks very promising.

Is there anywhere I can get shoulder straps and/or a wasit belt for a 64 pattern ruck? (other than CP)
It doesn't even have to be the normal set of straps. Im looking at getting padded shoulderstraps and the waist belt.
I checked at places like MEC but they don't sell just straps.
