The general Message that I always recieve is do NOT being CF ISSUE equipment.
Past that it should be okay to bring. Now the other matter is if your senior staff will let you wear/use it.
LD&C in Vernon gets issued the Dessert Boots, im not sure about webbing, other then the web belt, canteen, cover, buttpack,
I was the storesman and used the buttpack once or twice, thats it.
If you need it, it will be issued
You get (unless you are LD&C, Adventure, or Pioneer Staff etc.)
2 or 3 pr. of Cbt. Pants
2 or 3 pr. of Cbt. Jacket (summer)
(3 Pr. might be considered to be Issued if you are Storesman and wear Cbts every day)
1 Cbt. Sweater
1 Pr. Cbt. Boots
1 Webbelt
1 Canteen / Cup & Cover
1 Rain Jacket (Zip up version)
1 Pr. Rain Pants
Couple OD Undershirts
Extra
2 pr. CF Green Shirt
2 pr. Uniform Pants, Rifle Green
1 Tilley hat
and of course your sexy brassards
Pioneer get Steel Toe Cbt. Boots, Adventure get issued gucci civi kit from there stores from time to time, LD&C get Dessert Boots (that may change next year, but who knows)
some kit varries from year to year, in 2004 (well my staff, when I was on course didnt have Rain pants, and wore the OD Robin hood bush caps while in the field, 2003, no cadets got canteen cups etc.)
