Anyways, like already said, I don't see why everyone loves CF gear. Yes, some of it's good but you'll be hard pressed to find a infantier who hasn't replaced some issued kit with personal items, ie. boots, winter gear. Everyone loves snivel kit.  |
Simply because they don't have to use it on a day to day basis. They mean no disrespect for wearing it...imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. kit going on the free market has been around since Christ was a corporal no easy solution to that problem.
Edit:
When I got out of the forces I had 3 Barrack boxes (was only issued one(1)) full of gear....It was aquired over the years, any Infanteer that says he does not have shit stashed away is a bold faced liar. Be it rations, web gear, gortex, boots etc etc.
