RegF only gets tacvests when being deployed?

...eh? I dunno, personally I haven't seen any 'problems' with supply of kit with the exception of the CADPAT raingear. Everyone here in Shilo (and Gagetown for that matter) is able to get issued the equipment they need without having to be put on a waiting list. I've had most of my FFO since I finished Basic two years back for Christ's sake.

Just in case anybody doesn't know, any kit that is issued through a base supply, which is independent from a unit, is kept by the member until he/she releases from the military. Anything issued from a unit supply (quartermaster) is kept by the member until the leave that unit.
Base supply carries generic kit that everyone will be making use of, everything from combats to rucksacks to barrack boxes. Unit supplies will carry more job specific kit like ear defenders and BFA's.

That's just straight up bullshit that they have to buy a vest, especially at the price of a good rig, that shitty vest we get issued is only worth around $163 if I remember right.

But the original point, I fully agree wth, people, you don't need current issue CF gear, sure you mght LIKE to own it but there are people who NEED it, and I don't know bout others here but I know of units who're desperatly short on kit like the TV, I've heard of one unit who they took the TVs away from because an Infantry unit in the area did't have enough, but that's out ass end of somewhere or other.

Here in Kingston they will only issue you a TV if you are at an operational unit or deploying. A good friend of mine, who had one issued to him a whiles back - got it taken away from him because he didn't fit into those two categories at the time even though he was posted to a field unit (wasn't on a deploying roto at the time).

Now, oh shit, he needs one and they have to scramble to get one ordered for him through the unit.

The new army rain gear is a bitch once its own. The only reason I got mine was because I knew a Sgt, who knew a Sgt, who put my name down on a list somewhere and six months later I received an email saying to come pick up new rain gear.

May only be kingston then, Cause when i was a reservist (little over 2 years ago) we all had vests permanently, even though only a very few guys from our regiment were actually doing anything at any given time.

EVERYONE in our unit has them, even guys with nothing but BMQ and some who don't even have that yet.

I'm reservist, reg force or not though, if people don't have the kit they'll be using if the ever do go operational, how are they expected to become accustomed to it?

Depending on the base you are at and the unit you are posted to will depend on if you get field gear. Air Force and Navy pers attached to a Field unit will get FFO. Army guys posted to a none field unit probably will just have the basics.

Also some bases, such as the smaller ones like Kingston have a much smaller stock and sometimes they dont have enough to issue to people who need them. I know some people who wernt issued winter KIT till mid February last year.

Even if you are deploying it can still be like pulling teeth to get the KIT you need, depending on the base you are on at the time.

While I understand your frustraion Kokanee, Your frustration should be levelled at your fellow colleages and supply techs who are stealing property. I think it is beyond the scope of anyone buying equipment to know if the stuff they are buying is stolenor legally sourced.

Yup, they cut up a pair of unserviceable pants I exchanged in front of me one time.
