Male clevage is wrong on so many levels... especially when it's furry. Or so I've been told when wearing the old v-necks...
"The stuff the army issues is useless" and "no non-issue kit over seas!"

Two points to mention here.
1) One of the reasons I was told on my tour in Afghanistan (1-06) that we were to all wear the same kit was for night recognition. If we wore another nations kit, it wouls be harder to distinguish us as Canadians.
2) This is a question for Vern. I have seen Cadpat pattern t-shirts for sale on Ebay. Aret these authorized pieces of kit yet? If I where to buy a few, could I wear then at work? Just curious.

I have a few questions for you Kilroy:
1) Do you buy all of your military kit on E-bay that is normally issued to you at Base Supply, or just your underwear?
2) Unless you work for Vern, why don't you ask your superiors?
3) If you do work for Vern why not ask her in person?
4) Are you are one of those soldiers that likes to say to your boss, "You're so wrong, this 'crazy' lady on Army.ca told me I could wear my tie-dyed Hawaiian undershirt under my Coat, Conv, Cbt CADPAT, TW"?
Next you will ask, "Vern, can I wear pink rainboots instead of mukluks during winter warfare."

I think that headgear mattered more for night recognition. Helmet silouette (especially with the MNVGs mounted) was one quick way to tell people apart. I remember some direction being given on having standardized headgear at night but nothing else and there was every variety of chest rig/TV being worn out there.

And Melt in extreme heat...... ie Fire.
hence why the SOP came out that we could not wear them outside the wire on our tour. just inside KAF and the PRT.

They might melt quicker then combats but everything we wear will melt including the kit we wear to stay warm in A Stan when it gets cold. What about that issued Gortex Arid Rain suit? The SOP needs to be ammended.

Wearing fireproof/ cotton only clothing was a big deal for UK troops, in NI and still is in the desert I believe. Except for their jungle kit, all their gear is cotton. The US seems the same, and they have full ripstop cotton gear to support this policy, except for raingear of course.
I've always wondered why we insist on wrapping ourselves up in textiles that will melt nicely into our skins after only modeate heat is applied. One Molotov cocktail can change your mind - or skin texture...

If I go over again I think I might invest in the old school thermal's some how.
