Come on boys, the TV is the replacement for the old style web gear, for a couple of reasons, the first being the web gear isn't in CADPAT, the second is, it isn't what the army wants anymore. They want the TV.
If they were to only issue the TV to riflemen, and the people using the MG's would have to have the web gear, where is the uniformity that the army always goes on about.
You guys should know a bit better than to believe that crap. Just use a bit of common sense.
Especially since someone already posted a website that gives the info on the TV. Just read it and it will all make sense
By the way, it is not serialized kit. It is issued on a temp issue card. They don't do it that way in the Reg force, and they aren't doing it in the reserves. I have had mine for ages now, I passed in my webgear and got my TV. It goes home with me after an ex or when I am done training on a Thrusday night.
