i must admit i laugh when i see recruits fresh out of tekong
wearing the uniform, but then again, there are lots of merits to
it. all those former scorpions must know how cooling they are as
compared to the older ones when we wore them during evaluation.
with regards to its enhanced camouflage capabilities, you have to
check with OPFOR, though i would imagine it should be alot
better.
Also, its alot smaller than the old one. maybe they issued me
the wrong size, but by Day 1 of our evaluation, i split my pants
right down the middle, and it stayed that way till day 4. that has
definitely got something to do with its durability.
Furthermore, has anyone thought about how difficult it'd be to
access the pockets once we put on the ILBV (the 'new' bullet proof
vest). I must think that they'd decide to relocate our FAD and what
not. very sad. i used to put sweets in my left breast pocket. i was
hoping that Log side would include those useful pockets on the
sleeve for this purpose, but sadly, this has not happened.
