You used tables??Ironing boards? Luxury! A blanket on a table top is an adequate 'ironing board' if nothing else is available. I did my RT elsewhere in the 1970s but none of my Recruit Platoon used ironing boards.
@Caversham was it the same in your day?![]()
I know personal additional kit (military) is discouraged hiwever want to get a read on things like:
Hip Pads (Webbing; Yomping)
Laminators
Breachtool / Boresnake (weapon cleaning)
Are small things like this post foundation likely to get you the wrong attention or is this dependant on your troop / level of training?
Anyone in RT at the moment offer advice?
Arent all thr uk military moving towards virtus only? Ie webbing daysack and bergan. My unit has this in place and honestly its the worst kit ive ever used apart from helmet and body armour.
Are you allowed to bring toe socks to wear underneath the general issue socks to alleviate blisters?
Added to that what are the training teams opinions on Vibram 5 Finger trainers, are they allowed?
Is there a written standard as to what training shoes are acceptable?
