I sold the Army a few hundred of them, I'm sure they just want them for dress up. I'd post a receipt but I think that may be counter productive to the the "Dude, I Sell Pants", thing I've been working on.

That may be for enemy force stuff though. I know we got tiger stripe bdu's in gagetown for that.

Hell I remember helping my buddy put his rucksack together.

82 Webbing gone? Nope... we're still getting it issued.

Even funnier was the response of the stores Cpl.:

Me: "Um, what the devil are we gonna do with this?"
Cpl: "Hang onto it and give it back when you quit."

Ah the Army at work...

And yes, for those of us that didn't get issued an assembled Ruck Sack, they spent the rest of the kit issue day assembling each others rucks.

For those of us that were issued assembled rucks... it was damn boring.

wow...I was under the impression that all the '82 webbing was out of the system by now...
You learn something new everyday.

[philstructo]

that webbing is still around man thats old school stuff

[Yeoman]

I'd almost rather wear that then the tac vest. *shudders*
anywho; I picked up my TAG vest this weekend, I just need three more pouches show up and I've got my new high speed low drag kit for use here in canada (I don't even want to know how much all this stuff will cost me in AR as well ugh). so hopefully said stuff will be here by this time next week.
I rock the tag plate carrier (I think that's the name?) in coyote brown (I purchased more for use in the sand box next year then airsoft gaming here). TT medic pouch on the left side, TT large GP pouch on the other to hold the nalgene bottle. might throw a different pouch(es) on there for any serious gaming. esstac admin pouch, compass holder on the top of the vest (talking to ats tactical to let me get permission to make my own clap pouch they just released in cadpat, man that pouch is perfect for what I need). depending on what I'm playing; there'll either be three HSGI universal mag pouches for the m14 or some pouches made up by one of the local retired riggers for my m4 (whenever I get it).
of course on the back of the vest for real world stuff, I'd have pouches for DD's, frags, maybe some way to attach the camlebak (not a fan of a camlebak pouch, just to cumbersome in my mind, maybe some fastex clips sewn onto the vest). probably a pouch for my PRR as well.
and also coming soon; raid in cadpat so can't wait. tag better hurry up and ship them out to one shot, I'm gettin impatient and darren knows that
so yeah pics up once I get everything. but it looks pretty slick. can't wait to game er.

Possibly last year but now we are issued everything that is current.

Just last Novemeber (2006) we were all issued Tacvests and full ICE (Cadpat not OD). Some people even got the Cadpat Bivy bags.

Now you understand why we asked "what the heck is the old webbing for". Strangely they didn't give us any mag pouches, so the webbing is totally useless but looks great collecting dust in my basement.

The only "Gucci" item we were not issued is the new "Cadpat Poncho Liner/Ranger Blanket" (I've seen them, there nice, but we didn't get them yet) and of course the Cadpat Camelbak (that seems to only go to personel on ops).

Cheers

[Yeoman]

yeah only pers going on ops.
I was at base clothing yesterday trying to convince them that me deploying next year is close enough to give me one because mine just exploded on me
