The regulations are quite clear regarding kit.
If you don't fit into a stocked size...it's a Supply resp and no chit is required.
If you want to modify existing kit or purchase kit using taxpayers money for a medical reason, then it must be via a chit where the MO is certifying that he has verified your medical requirement for it. TB guidleines for use of public funds and CFMOs in this area are quite clear. A certified valid medical requirement. Then the chit comes to Supply (Clothing Stores if it's clothing) and we do the purchasing of it. Now if MOs, & physio are not certifying that there is a valid medical reason for that purchase before signing that chit as such as per their CFMOs, then it's their problem when the auditors come knocking.
And PMedMo, no offense, but if you resoled your own boots at your own expense due to hips/bursitis etc, something is wrong. Sounds like a medical requirement to me.
Oh Blackadder,
We're getting a lot of very tall people these days...we buy an awful lot of extra-long sleeping bags these days for troops who are just too damn tall for the stocked items; and they don't need chits to get them. They are pretty obvious!!
