Ok I am the bigshot. 
Let it be known to this forum that myself and many others will try
our best to seek answer from MINDEF so that the NSF soldiers and
the reservist past and present will be better equipped for the
missions that they have been tasked to do and in an acceptable
comfort.
NathanG5, you have dishonoured the people who are still in uniform
as a reservist, a father, brother and son to do his job well when
he is doing his reservist. He is asking for the best gear so that
he will be able to complete his reservist in one piece. You can
criticise me about emailing MINDEF but honour the reservist who has
a family and is not in good shape as he used to be and needs some
help in the gear that he is using.
Until then, I will seek information so that my brothers in arms are
safe from the equipment that they have been issued with.
Please post the pictures and I am still waiting for the PALs
webbing specification that you have promised to take while in camp.
I have been waiting for the photos for quite some time since the
last thread about it and it was not replied by you.
How is the weaving of the 1" webbing done and can Malice clips be
used. You claimed that you have the SBO but does not know how it is
weaved and the attachment system after weaving the 1"
webbing.
I am also waiting for the Blackhawk system that you claimed to be
able to dissipate heat ? The only Blackhawk system is the BlackHawk
IVS- Intercooler Venting System which does not work as it is only
shaped foam.
I'm not sure where is the thread about the new SBO.
I am interested which infantry unit will get it next year as it has
been T&E for quite some time. Until then, it is still for PR
purposes as it is used by a small number of people.
HTH.
Get you facts straight, I was the one who said that it is for PR
purpose and MINDEF have never emailed me and stated that the vest
is for promotional purpose.
